ABOUT
========================================================
This is an FAQ for Divinity II: Ego Draconis, available for the Xbox 360 and
the PC. This guide is written for the 360 version specifically, however all
information should be equally relevant to the PC version.
With the release of Divinity II: Flames of Vengeance (FoV) and the Dragon
Knight Saga (DKS; a compilation of Ego Draconis and FoV), some information in
this guide may be either outdated or incomplete. DKS specifically changed a
lot about the game. As DKS has not been released in the US on the Xbox 360,
this guide remains based on the US 360 release of Ego Draconis, and does not
cover any aspects of FoV, nor any changes made for the DKS version). If and
when DKS is released in the US on 360, I will update the guide accordingly.
This guide contains all sorts of random information about the game that
doesn't fit a guide of its own. It covers a broad range of topics, all of
which can be seen in the table of contents (located right below this section).
THIS GUIDE DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS! It doesn't go out of its way to list
spoilers, however, names of people, places, quests, and other such topics are
used freely and without spoiler warnings.
Note: Information on mindreading and its benefits is scattered throughout the
guide in relevant sections. Ctrl+F is your friend when checking what effect
a specific mindread will have.

*1* NOTES ABOUT THE GAME AND GUIDE
========================================================
This section covers various notes about the guide, as well as basics about
the game itself that are necessary to understand parts of this guide.
------------------------------------
1.1 - CHARACTER STATS
------------------------------------
These are the stats your character has, and how they work.
----------------
POINT STATS
----------------
Points encompasses various vitals: Hitpoints, Mana, and Experience. There is
no known maximum for any of these stats. EXP goes into millions, and HP/MP
can go well into the thousands with no end in sight.
HITPOINTS (HP) are your life. When they reach zero, you die, and must reload
from a previous save. This stat can be raised by leveling up, increasing your
Vitality stat, or directly from buffs on equipped items. Although a lot of HP
will help you survive, keep in mind your natural regeneration rate is the ONLY
percentage-based recovery method based on your max HP.
Ways to heal HP:
-Natural regeneration, based on the sum of your Strength stat's regen,
Regenerate skill, and Healing Aura jewelry enchantments, plus innate 0.30%
regen. (percentage-based)
-Food and potions of Healing and Rejuvenation. (set amount)
-Healing skill. (set amount)
-Life Leech skill (percentage-based on damage dealt)
MANA (MP) is your magical reserve. This is used to cast spells and use skills
from any class of skills, not just priest and mage. Having it hit zero just
means you cannot use most skills! As with HP, only natural regeneration will
heal based on a percentage of max MP, and not a set amount. There IS a skill
to recover MP based on your maximum HP, though!
Ways to recover MP:
-Natural regeneration based on the sum of your Intelligence stat's regen and
innate 0.30% regen. (percentage-based)
-Drinks and potions of Revitalizing and Rejuvenation. (set amount)
-Mana Leech skill. (percentage-based on damage dealt)
-Life Tap skill. (percentage-based on maximum HP)
EXPERIENCE (EXP) is your experience. This determines your character level,
which plays a large part in how much damage you deal and take. Unlike the
other two, this won't go down, and does not need to be "recovered." See the
EXP tables in section 18.6 for information on how much EXP is required for
each level. Mindreading adds its EXP cost to your EXP debt, which all EXP goes
towards before applying to your next level. The Wisdom skill increases EXP
gained from all sources.
----------------
VITAL STATS
----------------
These are your main five stats, the ones you have direct control over raising.
Each level gives 4 points to be distributed over any of these stats as you see
fit. Equipment has minimum stat requirements to use. 100 is the maximum for
any of these stats. The bonus for each point of the stat are listed below.
VITALITY: Your life force and constitution.
+7 to Hitpoints
SPIRIT: Your magical potential and reserves.
+7 to Mana
STRENGTH: Your physical power.
+0.5% to Melee Damage
+0.4 Melee Armor Points
+0.006% to natural HP regeneration
+1 to Conditioned Body
DEXTERITY: Your reflexes and speed.
+0.5% to Ranged Damage
+0.4 to Ranged Armor Points
+1 to Heightened Reflexes
INTELLIGENCE: Your mental and magical power.
+1% to Magic Damage (affects both spell AND weapon magic damage)
+0.4 to Magic Armor Points
+0.006% to natural Mana regeneration
+1 to Indomitable Will
----------------
ATTACK AND DEFENSE
----------------
These are stats that affect your damage output and intake. These are heavily
augmented by, if not based on your current equipment. Maximum damage is not
known, but goes above 1000. Resistances max out at 66.00%.
WEAPON DAMAGE: This shows the base damage range for your equipped weapon.
Melee or Ranged Damage is listed on the left, while Magic Damage is listed in
purple to the right of it. If a melee weapon is readied, the first is Melee
damage, while with a bow, it is Ranged. Strength or Dexterity (based on
weapon equipped) increase the first (or only) number, while Intelligence
increases Magic Damage (if any at all).
MELEE RESISTANCE, RANGED RESISTANCE, MAGIC RESISTANCE: The percentage of
damage from attacks of the corresponding type that you resist. A melee resist
of 50% means you take half the melee damage you would at 0%. The stat is shown
in percentage, but all increases occur in the form of vague, undefined
"points," with one point equaling much less than 1% of resistance, and
decreasing in value the higher the resistance is.
Resistance from stats is different than from armor. Each point gained from
equipped armor is worth a full point, thus an armor that gives +5 to Melee
Resistance gives a full 5 points. Each point in a stat is worth 40% of an
armor point (or 0.4 of an armor point). Five stat points would have the same
effect as 2 armor points (so that +5 Melee Resist armor is 20 Strength worth
of defense).
----------------
OTHER
----------------
Three stats remain, and these three are directly affected by Strength,
Dexterity, and Intelligence. All three serve a specific, special purpose, and
cap at 75%.
CONDITIONED BODY: This stat is governed by Strength, with each point
increasing it by 1%. The conditioned body stat reduces the duration of time
various statuses affect you, such as Bleed, Burn, Poiton, and Polymorph. The
damage done per second and chance of being afflicted are not affected.
HEIGHTENED REFLEXES: This stat is goverened by Dexterity, with each point
increasing it by 1%. Heightened reflexes is additional damage dealt when you
score a critical hit. A critical will deal 150% normal damage by default, and
your Reflex increases it further according to this formula: (150 * HR%)%.
A HR of 10% will therefore have criticals deal 165% normal damage. A maximum
HR (75%) will cause criticals to deal 263% of normal damage.
INDOMITABLE WILL: This stat is goverened by Intelligence, with each point
increasing it by 1%. The indomitable will stat determines your resistance to
Curse, Fear, Polymorph, Ranger Surprise, and Stun statuses. It only affects
your resistance to being afflicted at all, though, and will do nothing to
shorten the time they last, or reduce the effect they have if the check fails.
------------------------------------
1.2 - EQUIPMENT
------------------------------------
Equipment has several components which come together to form the final piece.
These stats are listed in order as they appear on the actual items. One point
to be aware of: Unique is an equipment rarity in the game, however this guide
uses it to mean pieces of equipment that are special in some way, and not
randomly-generated (at least not entirely). The phrase "Unique rarity" denotes
when an actual item of that rarity is being discussed.
----------------
BASE STATS
----------------
The base stats of a particular piece of equipment never change. These stats
encompass the item type, the melee/ranged/magic damage or resist, critical
chance (for weapons), and level and stat requirements. Every single Elite
Noble Helmet, Regular Army Cuirass, and Light Magical Death Sword will always
have the same base stats.
Critical Rate is determined by weapon type:
-Melee weapons: 5%
-Bows (type 1): 7%
-Bows (type 2): 12%
Special weapons (listed in sections 2.2 and 2.4) may have higher critical
rates. The Butcher enchantment, despite its description, increases critical
RATE, not damage.
----------------
SET BONUS
----------------
This appears in green right under the level/stat requirements. This is only
for pre-defined equipment sets, found in the flying fortresses, or as DLC. The
majority of equipment will not have this entry.
DLC sets usually have three pieces: a weapon, body armor, and another armor
(helmet, gauntlets, leggings). Set bonuses for the DLC sets require all pieces
to be equipped to have the benefit.
----------------
BUFFS
----------------
These are bonuses to stats and skills that appear in blue right under the
level and stat requirements (unless part of a pre-defined set). These provide
a bonus to the listed stats, and can include: Hitpoints, Mana, Vitality,
Spirit, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Melee/Ranged/Magic Damage, Critical
Chance, Melee/Ranged/Magic Resistance, Conditioned Body, Heightened Reflexes,
Indomitable Will, or any skill.
Melee/Ranged/Magic Damage buffs and Critical Chance buffs only appear on
weapons. Critical Chance buffs are very rare.
Melee/Ranged/Magic Resistance buffs and Conditioned Body, Heightened Reflexes,
and Indomitable Will buffs only appear on armor. All listed except Melee and
Ranged Resistance will appear on jewelry as well.
Skill bonuses only appear randomly on jewelry. Weapons and armor will only
have skill bonuses if they are unique (and pre-determined to have that bonus).
Skill bonuses are very rare, and the higher the skill's level, the higher the
price will be.
Unique equipment without randomly generated buffs and enchantments will always
have the exact same buffs each time. Unique equipment with randomly generated
buffs and a skill bonus will always have the skill bonus; only the other buffs
are randomized.
If multiple buffs of a single stat are present (due to two or more buffs
rolling the same stat randomly), it is compounded into a single buff, except
much larger than usual. E.g., two +1 Strength buffs would appear as +2
Strength, not +1 Strength and +1 Strength. Multiple skill bonuses to the same
skill will NOT stack like this, however, and will appear as 2 (or more) +1s
to the skill. The skill WILL still get the +2, however.
----------------
CHARM SLOTS
----------------
Charms are one-use items that provide a small additional stat boost. An item's
rarity affects the potential charm slots indirectly. The number of possible
charm slots is based on the number of random buffs. Uncommon and Rare have one
buff, and therefore 0 or 1 charm slot. Magical has 2 buffs and 2 potential
charm slots, Heroic 3, and Legendary 4. The charm slots are not evenly
distributed, though. 0 and 1 slots occur much more often than 2, and 3 are
almost impossible to get on Heroic (and rare on Legendary). 4 on Legendary is
practically unheard of (thousands of attempts may see ONE item with 4 slots).
Epic and Unique rarity items have 5 buffs, and therefore theoretically could
have 5 charm slots, but this is probably much rarer than a Legendary item with
4, so don't count on it. Epic and Unique may have a slightly higher chance of
having 4 slots than a Legendary item, however.
Unique equipment with random buffs have the potential charm slots based on the
number of RANDOM buffs. Skill bonuses that are pre-determined do NOT count
towards this. Unique equipment without random buffs have all facets of the
item, including charm slots, entirely pre-set, however.
Once added, CHARMS ARE PERMANENT. They appear on the item in bright yellow,
below the buff list. The charm's effects are also added to the buff list,
and if the charm increases a stat a buff is already present for, it will add
the charm into it (a +1 Strength charm on an item which already has +2
Strength would change it to +3 Strength, as per the rules noted in the Buff
section).
Charms have five levels: Lesser, Minor, Major, Blessed, and Divine. All except
Divine may eventually be purchased. Divine charms are only from pre-defined
sources, listed in section 18.3.
----------------
ENCHANTMENT SLOTS
----------------
Enchantments are special effects that can be added or removed from equipment
at an Enchanter. Any random item with enchantment slots that start out filled
have them randonized based on your character level. Enchantment slots are
separate from all the other stats. A damage-boosting enchantment will not show
up in the Buff list, unlike Charms. They are shown in beige.
Note that unique equipment with random enchantments (such as Champion David's
Gauntlets) will have the enchantments based on the item's level, NOT your
character's. This can lead to the item having better enchantments than you
could have at the moment (this is often the case with Amdusias' Regular Noble
Helmet, which is Lv18 in the Maxos Temple).
The only time that fact is particularly useful is with the Bow of Tiberius in
the Orobas Fjords, a reward for finishing all five bounty quests there. This
item can randomly have level 10 enchantments, including Increased (Magical)
Damage and Butchery, which normally would require a malachite gem (in very
limited supply) to enchant yourself.
The number of enchantment slots is entirely pre-determined. Unique equipment
will be pre-set whether or not the enchantment slots start filled or empty.
All random equipment, except common- and uncommon-rarity items, will have one
filled slot. Only unique equipment may have two or three enchantment slots.
Unique-rarity equipment (different from unique equipment) has three slots.
----------------
FLAVOR TEXT
----------------
Some unique items have flavor text in a lavender font, appearing below the
Enchantments. This IS just flavor text, and has no effect on anything.
Interestingly, the majority of equipment with this are ones given away as
part of missions.
------------------------------------
1.3 - DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOOT
------------------------------------
Many chests in the game are set with certain categories of items that will
appear within. Although some chests (often mentioned in this guide) contain
specific items (unique items, dragon armor, quest items, and so forth), most
are randomly generated, but from only a few types of item. This is a list of
the basic sets and what they are comprised of. If you reload to check a chest
multiple times, this will give a good way of knowing what all can be gotten.
1: The Basics:
-Gold
-Gems, herbs, ore
-Weapons and armor (normal or uncommon)
-Formulas
-Potions
-Charms
-Books
2: The Armory:
-Weapons and armor (rare and higher, may be based on chest or character level)
-Gems
3: The Jeweler:
-Uncommon jewelry (dark brown jewelry boxes)
-Rare or higher jewelry (other Jeweler-class chests)
4: Formulaic:
-Formulas
-Potions
-Herbs
-Nothing (rare, but sometimes these chests ARE empty)
5: Bellegar's Purse
-Gems, ore
-Jewelry (rare or higher)
-Charms
6: Scorpion Hunter of the Aleroth Archmage
-The corresponding piece of the item set
-Potions
-Gems
-Formulas
7: The Macabre (Corpses)
-Gold
-Gems, herbs, ore
-Weapons and armor (normal rarity)
-"Remains of" body parts
------------------------------------
1.4 - USING THIS GUIDE
------------------------------------
This guide uses several other pieces of terminology that may not be
immediately obvious. This is a quick list of things that will help better sort
through directions, instructions, and other such things.
----------------
CHESTS AND CONTAINERS
----------------
Chests come in several varieties, and knowing which chest you're looking for
can help when searching for a specific item. This describes each chest I refer
to throughout the guide.
Plain Wooden Chest: These are the most common type, basically long, flat-top
wooden chests. I'd wager a good 85-90% of chests in the game are this type.
Rounded Wooden Chest: This looks a bit more treasure chest-like. It is still
low and wooden, but the top is rounded, instead of flat. Looks a bit more
ornate than the plain wooden chest.
Medium Wooden Chest: This chest is between the rounded and large wooden chests
in size. It looks like a conventional treasure chest, with a rounded top, and
much more even proportions.
Large Wooden Chest: This looks like a stereotypical treasure chest. It is
large, dark brown, and looks rather ornate compared to the plain wooden chest.
Golden Chest: The golden chest looks like the large wooden chest, but is gold
and purple in color. This chest is extremely obvious by the name alone.
Small Chest: Small chests (or lockboxes) are tiny chests that are closer to a
box than a chest. These are rare, however.
Jewelry Box: These are dark brown flat boxes, usually sitting on tables, found
throughout the game. They pretty much always contain a jewelry item of
uncommon rarity.
Coin Purse: A small yellow purse with gold inside. One may think this would
hold gold, but it often may contain other items. Common ones are single gems,
jewelry items, and charms, although some specific ones may contain other
items, such as weapons or armor.
Corpses: These are bloody corpses scattered in various places. They only
contain necromancer body parts (the "remains of" variety, not ghoul, goblin,
or dragon elf), single herbs, gems, or ore, normal rarity equipment of an
appropriate level, or gold. This one is quite obvious and sometimes are used
as landmarks to give directions from.
------------------------------------
1.5 - RESPAWNING ENEMIES AND MAXIMIZING EXP
------------------------------------
As is well-known, enemies do not respawn. This means there is technically a
maximum amount of experience points that can be gained in the course of the
game. However, there is one particular loophole (two, actually) that allow not
only respawning enemies, but full EXP for them! Normally, respawning enemies
(and summoned ones) do not give any EXP or drops. However, in two locations
(Keara's Headquarters and the Ministry of Aleroth building), enemies can
respawn and give full EXP.
----------------
KEARA'S FLYING FORTRESS
----------------
Note: A high level Explosive Arrows skill (level 10+) is HIGHLY recommended to
explot this glitch. Anything else will severely slow down your EXP gain
potential.
In Keara's flying fortress, inside her Headquarters there is a door that
requires naming five statues to open. If you tell the door you have named them
when you haven't, it will refuse to open, and respawn ALL enemies in the
Headquarters area. This makes it easy to run a full circuit through the maze
(there is a full circuit that allows killing most enemies, and three very
quick side trips will let you kill each one).
Once back at the door, talk to it again and lie, and the enemies return once
again. The enemies are level 26 Walking Armors and level 28 Fire Skeletons.
Both can be of warrior or ranger varieties, and which ones appear are random.
For most levels above 32, the Walking Armors give approximately half of the
EXP the Fire Skeletons do.
These enemies not only give full EXP each time they respawn, but also drop
items. They normally drop normal or uncommon weapons and armor, lesser or
minor rank charms, and gold (usually around 200). This also makes this an
infinite source of gold, although the rate at which gold is gained means the
amount will be rather insignificant.
This may take a while, since in the mid 30's, enemies tend to give 100 to 200
EXP apiece, but it doesn't take as long as it seems. Level 38 is about as high
as can be reasonably achieved like this. If you max out Wisdom (to Lv15, for
a 30% EXP increase), and leave the majority of quests in the Fjords (and
several structures like Goblin catapults and Ballista/Nest/Wizard towers in
various fortresses), the quests and structures EXP will likely be enough to
push you from Lv38 to 40 (that would require around 300,000 EXP). There is
over 500,000 EXP from static sources to be had in the Fjords (assuming max
Wisdom), so exploit this to its fullest!
Note that in one specific room (a green-tinted room with two statues), enemies
will "stack" if the respawn is triggered multiple times before approaching
the room. This will lead to dozens of enemies stacked on their spawn point
(the room normally has two groups of three enemies).
This can be exploited for faster EXP gain. Note the red teleporters; stepping
on one will teleport you to the locked door, and stepping on that one takes
you back to the last one you used (next to a statue). This can be used to
transport between the green room and the door quickly! Talk to the door
multiple times in a row (don't bother killing the nearby enemies in between).
Then kill the nearby enemies after taking to it 6 or 7 times (any more and the
stacking may not work).
Teleport to the green room, kill everyone (this is where Explosive Arrows
truly shines), then teleport back and repeat. This earns EXP at a much higher
rate than normal circuits. Be sure to pick up all dropped items each time,
as I have observed that too many loot bags sitting around inhibits the
stacking effect that makes this such a rich EXP source.
----------------
MINISTRY OF ALEROTH
----------------
In the Ministry of Aleroth, letting enemies attack Zandalor will reset the
timer for the portal closing. This causes more and more enemies to spawn,
which can be killed for extra EXP. This is inferior to Keara's fortress, since
the EXP comes slower, and it is annoying to make sure Zandalor is attacked
each time
Additionally, you cannot leave between levels to visit shops, which limits
your ability to buy good equipment and charms each level. You get two chances
at this:
1: Closing the first two portals (on the second floor).
2: Closing the final portals (on the first floor).
In between these two segments, you have time to go to a shop, but once one is
started, the only way to leave is to finish it.
------------------------------------
1.6 - SKILL INFORMATION AND SUGGESTIONS
------------------------------------
This is a list of skills, some of their important stats, and tips on using
them to their fullest. Skills marked with an asterisk (*) have a default point
in them at all times that can never be removed, even via Unlearn all Skills.
These include Mindread, Encumbrance, the Weapon Expertise skills, and
Firebreath (as a dragon). The point you get for choosing a class in Farglow,
as well as the dragon's default Fire Sphere point ARE removed via the unlearn
function.
The variables for skills are named what they are. Some names are abbreviated
for space reasons, but once you know what the skill does (easy to look at it
on the skill screen and get acquainted with each effect), it is easy to read
the abbreviated names and know exactly what they mean.
Units are always seconds (for time) and meters (for distance).
Constants are listed above the stat table. Cooldown is usually a constant;
only a few skills reduce cooldown as the level goes up.
Passive skills are always in effect. (i.e., Life Leech, Confusion,
Destruction, and Potion Efficiency)
Active skills must be used, and then have a cooldown before they can be used
again. (i.e., Fireball, Whirlwind, and Poison Arrows)
Continuous skills must be used, and then last for a pre-determined length of
time before they deactivate automatically. The cooldown begins when they
deactivate, and pressing the button for the skill while active manually
deactivates it. (i.e., Summon skills and "Way of the" skills)
--------------------------------
PRIEST SKILLS
--------------------------------
Priest skills are not so much priestly as they are shamanic. These skills
involve summoning creatures and cursing enemies (sometimes literally) to
reduce their effectiveness. This is not a "primary" class, available to choose
from simply because it is too defense- and support-oriented.
SUMMON UNDEAD: The Undead Abomination summoned by this tends to sit in one
place and lob energy balls at enemies. The damage is low, however, even at
Lv15 (which makes a Lv40 undead).

SUMMON GHOST: This is like Summon Undead, except with a much longer cooldown,
less duration, and the chance to cast Healing on you. It usually sits around,
lobbing energy balls that do much, much less than the Undead's version.

FEAR: Fear drives affected enemies away from you. A few enemies, mostly
demons, use this spell. This is not a terribly useful offensive tool, mostly
used to give yourself some breathing room when under assault. Most major
enemies are immune to it, of course. This may be useful in combination with
a ranger: drive away enemies, then fire at their back.

HIDE IN SHADOWS: Can be useful to pass by enemies that are too strong, however
just passing enemies won't get you levels. If you get lucky, you may get a
jewelry item that gives +1 to this. A single point may help, but for most of
the locations where this helps the most, just 10 seconds of invisibility isn't
quite enough, which means you would need level 2 or higher.

CHARM: May seem decent, but damage inflicted by charmed enemies does NOT
count towards the EXP you will earn! Use it with caution, since it will

LIFE TAP: This drains 10% of your Hitpoints to replenish your Mana. Not a bad

get more use out of a single point in Mana Leech. Wizards who never gets
close and constantly cast spells and summon your Creature may consider this,
if mana potions aren't plentiful enough. Note that casting this cancels out
the Healing spell's effect, so use Healing AFTER casting Life Tap.

MASTER HERBALIST: A wonderful skill... when making potions. It's of no use in
battle, so its most effective if you can find random jewelry to provide points
in this skill, instead of your actual skill points. Both this and upgrading
your Alchemy platform will reduce the total ingredients needed for potions.
Once all ingredient costs of a recipe reach 1, further reductions will
eliminate ingredients altogether. All potions will always need at least one
of the first ingredient on the list, though (for level 10 potions, this is
either Earth Root or Fanny Blossom).

WAY OF THE WISE WIZARD: This skill increases your magic defense and will at
the cost of magic damage. Although Lv5 has no magic damage penalty, this

Indomitable Will bonus is decent, but it is hardly worth skill points JUST
for that.

MAGE SKILLS
--------------------------------
The mage skills are for offensive wizards who wish to release a hail of
magical might upon their foes. Attack spells and buffs are found here, and
can do a lot of damage, but require constant skill points to keep up to date.
A spell even a couple of levels behind your current maximum will fast become
useless.
MAGIC MISSILE: This is the basic rapid-fire spell in your arsenal. It is not
the most powerful, but its cooldown is so low the damage will build up MUCH
faster. If you're a caster, this skill should be your top priority spell.
Even a melee character would find it difficult to go wrong with a Lv15 Magic
Missile and Lv5 Destruction, that's how powerful it is.

FIREBALL: This is the "default" mage skill, and one of the two available
immediately. Unfortunately, it's also the worst offensive spell in the game.
It has an absurd cooldown, and its chance of setting the enemy on fire is
laughable, even at Lv15. Avoid this and use Magic Missile until Firewall and
Magic Blast are available. It is an area-of-effect spell, at least, though
its range is low until higher levels. Still, a dedicated mage (e.g., one that
uses only spells, and never touches melee) MIGHT have a use for this, but
spamming Magic Missile is so powerful against even the largest groups you
will encounter it takes priority, especially due to other necessary skills
(such as Destruction, Confusion, Potion Efficiency, and so on).

Each level only one or two of its critical stats goes up or down, but the
mana cost keeps growing in large amounts.

Static Charge Aura. Each time the energy orb hits an enemy, it rolls to
inflict the stun!

DESTRUCTION: This handy skill boosts the damage output of spells. This can
significantly boost the damage of mages that use stuff like Magic Missile,
Fireball, and Magic Blast. This does NOT affect magic damage on melee and
ranged attacks, though. Some enchantments, namely Damage Aura, Magic Damage
Aura, and Static Charge Aura also have their damage boosted by this. This is
an excellent use of skill points for anyone who relies on spells and the
listed enchantments. Lv2 has an odd one-off case of diminishing returns,
though this is not a concern as the average increase is 10% over the five

HP faster. It has an obscenely high mana cost.

WARRIOR SKILLS
--------------------------------
Warrior skills inflict melee damage with whatever weapons you have equipped.
Most skills deal your base melee damage at the first level, meaning even one
point in many of these skills is useful to take advantage of their utility,
such as Whirlwind's area-of-effect attack, or Rush Attack's ability to cover
distance. All skills in this category may be used even without a melee weapon
equipped; this will use your fists and the Unarmed Expertise skill. All should
have the same range as with a weapon equipped, unlike normal melee attacks.
Although the damage scales with your melee damage, either put just one point
into the skills, or max them out; anything else is just a waste of points.
One important consideration is for dual-wielders: when these melee skills are
used, it uses the total melee damage of both of your weapons. Normally,
dual-wield attacks use each weapon's damage individually, leading to two
lower-damage hits during normal combos. Skills inflict all the damage in a
single blow.
WHIRLWIND: Essential for breaking the thousands of crates, barrels, urns, and
baskets throughout the game. It also hits all nearby enemies for melee damage,
and even at level 1, it does your base damage (plus 1.5 extra) to all enemies
it hits. Put one point in here, no matter what melee weapon (if any) you use.

RUSH ATTACK: This is another essential melee skill. This jets you right to
the targeted enemy, dealing multiplier-based bonus damage. This is an
excellent skill and at least one point should be put into it. Although it has
a multiplier effect, its cooldown and minimum range make it less effective to
sink points into. Once you're up close to an enemy, you need to move a fair
distance away to use this again. The mana cost is dirt cheap, however.

JUMP ATTACK: This is less of a useful melee skill. It is passive, not active,
affecting the downswing you perform when you attack mid-air. This adds linear
damage and chance of knockdown to this swing. Although it can be potent, it
requires a separate jump attack each time. Each swing also has a hidden mana
cost that is not displayed anywhere but your mana gauge. Don't bother with
this skill unless you plan to use it as a primary attack.

FATALITY: This sounds awesome: an INSTANT KILL! It works on anything, too!
Even bosses!!! Oh, except that it requires their HP to be quite low before it

first and foremost, the skill points in here would be much more effective to
spend on other skills that will increase damage at all times.

DEFENSIVE POSTURE: This is the melee version of Way of the Wise Wizard. It
increases melee defense and conditioned body at the cost of melee and ranged
damage. At Lv5, it ceases to reduce your damage, however the defensive buff it
grants is not very effective, and a pittance later in the game. This is not
really worth the points. The initial bonuses are weaker and the later ones
stronger than Wise Wizard, though, as this is a lower level skill to start.

potent skill for anyone who engages in melee combat often, and who uses

grow higher and higher, so at max level, it reduces armor by much more than
the first levels. Keep that in mind.

BLEED: This skill adds a chance of causing bleeding with each hit. This is a
very useful skill, since the bleeding damage is based on your total damage,
not a set amount. This means the stronger you get, the stronger the bleed
gets. In addition, the higher the level, the faster it does the damage. When
there is a chance of inflicting 100% of the damage over one second, this skill
is truly fearsome. As usual, this only applies to melee attacks, not magic or
ranged. All levels do ~100% of your hit's damage, but spread over several
seconds. Levels above 10 are not very effective uses of points.

REGENERATE: This skill adds to your HP regeneration rate. This is a very
useful skill, but something of a one hit wonder. The first point gives +0.21%
to regen, with later points giving +0.02 to 0.04%. This can be very useful for
any amount of skill points, but weigh carefully if you need THAT much regen,
as natural regen is of little good in hectic, deadly battles. This skill's
bonus is added to the "Regeneration rate" listed under Strength in your stat
screen. With 50 Strength, six level 10 Healing Aura enchantments, and this
skill maxed, you will have a 2.8% HP regen per second!

THOUSAND STRIKES: Delicious mana, I will eat it all! This is the most costly
skill in the game, and rather strange for a warrior. It is a rapid-fire
combo attack, very potent. Each strike does the damage multiplier's damage,
so having this skill at high levels will blow enemies into next week. While
each hit counts as a melee hit for the purpose of skills that affect them
(like Leech skills), the mana cost is not deducted until the combo finishes,
so Mana Leech will NOT repay this skill's cost unless you are able to use it
twice consecutively (requiring a little less than double the mana cost in
total mana to do).

DEATH BLOW: This skill increases the chance of inflicting a critical hit. This
amount is added to your weapon's critical hit chance. This is a decent skill,
as a critical hit deals double damage, so although each point in this skill
only gives +1% to +3% to critical rate, that's actually not terrible.
Unfortunately, this skill's damage still pales in comparison to others.
Rangers need this skill, though, as critical hits are important for ranged
attacks to maximize damage, especially with a high Heightened Reflexes stat.
A dual-wield critical setup, with Butcher enchantments, can also make this a
useful way to maximize damage.

REFLECT: Returning damage to the enemy? Sounds great, right? This is not
actually reflecting damage, though. It works like the Retribution Aura
enchantment, except the chance of activating is 100%. A percentage of the
damage the enemy deals to you will be automatically inflicted on them. The
problem? Your HP, and the damage you take, are about an order of magnitude
lower than your enemy's HP. This means even at max level, this skill will fail
to inflict a lot of damage. If you absolutely need it, put a single point
here, so that SOME damage is returned each attack. Subsequent points are
wasted on this skill.

RANGER SKILLS
--------------------------------
Ranger skills are ranged skills (wow, really?) that are used with a bow. All
active skills require a bow equipped to use, although some of the passive
skills are extremely nice. Explosive Arrows is the be-all and end-all of
ranged attacks in the game, though. Splitting Arrows is the only ranged attack
that actually uses your ranged damage stat to determine damage.
POISON ARROWS: This is the basic ranger skill, and decent at the start, but
quickly becomes worthless. The total damage it does, even at max level, is
eclipsed by almost any other damage source, as there is no way to further
boost it. Ditch this skill after getting your skill trainer, or just don't
take it in the first place.

RANGER SURPRISE: This fires a non-damaging arrow that causes heavy losses to
the enemy's defensive stats, especially melee armor. This makes it more useful
for a warrior as opposed to a ranger. The bonus is of questionable value, and
best saved for bosses.

RANGER STRENGTH: This is the bow's version of the weapon expertise skills.
Each point increases the ranged damage of your bow. Unlike the expertise
skills, however, this only boosts ranged damage, NOT magical. This helps
improve the damage bows put out, but since the best ranged skills ignore your
ranged damage, the value of this skill is somewhat questionable. For sheer
power later on, put the 15 points you'd spend on this into Explosive Arrows.
Only use this if you pick away with a bow, or spam Splitting Arrows.

STUN ARROWS: These inflict stun on the enemy that takes the arrow. This may
seem useful, but it only hits one enemy at a time, and the stun's duration is
not the greatest. The cooldown time further reduces the usefulness of this
skill. Try it out, but depending on it may be difficult.

RANGER STEALTH: This skill reduces the range at which enemies detect your
presence. This is actually a decent skill, and a couple point in it let you
get much closer before enemies attack. At high levels, this skill can
apparently be pretty effective, to a fault, even, so use at your own
discretion. Two points seems to be the required amount to get the most out of
this skill. This skill only works while you have a bow armed (not just
equipped, but actually wielded).

POTION EFFICIENCY: More from a potion. Great, right? This skill boosts the
effect of ALL potions. This means more healing and more stats. This is useful
since your HP and MP keep going up, but potion healing stays the same for a
given level of potion. Points after Lv5 are less effective. Note that at Lv5,
ultimate stat potions will boost the stat by 43 points, and at Lv10, it will
be 50 points. Full Resistance will give 34 total armor at Lv5, and 40 at Lv10.
Unfortunately this won't increase the Intelligence gained from the Potion of
Wisdom you win from Geshniz.

SPLITTING ARROWS: Multiple arrows! This skill fires multiple of your normal
arrows in one volley. Useful against large groups, but the cooldown reduces
its usefulness. If damage is your goal later in the game, Explosive Arrows
will be much, much stronger, hit more enemies more reliably (including hitting
through walls), and cause knockdown.

EVADE: Avoiding melee attacks is the purpose of this skill. This is a one hit
wonder that can still be useful above Lv1. This gives the listed percent
chance of evading a melee attack entirely. This doesn't work on ranged or
magic attacks, but just the melee evasion is nice. All characters should put
a point here, and more can help stay alive if melee enemies tend to damage
you too much. Pumping it to max level will give a 50% evasion chance, which is
pretty nice.

EXPLOSIVE ARROWS: Overpowered against everything but bosses, especially once
its cap has been raised. Even on hard difficulty, enemy groups will be utterly
demolished by its power and incredibly low (for the damage dealt) cooldown and
mana cost. It also ignores all stats of both your character and the bow, aside
from critical chance (from the bow, and Death Blow), and the bonus damage from
Heightened Reflexes. Be wary of putting too many points into this skill if you
want any challenge from the game.

it couldn't have rhymed too. "Battle Page" sounds decent, though doesn't fit

Too bad ranged attacks need it so desperately, otherwise this would be as
broken as Explosive Arrows (wishful thinking).

DRAGON SLAYER
--------------------------------
The Dragon Slayer skillset are all sorts of special passive skills that don't
relate to any specific class. Your weapon proficiencies are here, as well as
general effects like Mindreading and other EXP or inventory effects.
MINDREAD: The first point in this skill is given in Farglow, and is permanent.
It "unlocks" mindreading. Subsequent points just reduce the EXP cost of
mindreading. This is a very useless skill to put actual points into, but a
decent one to find jewelry that give a bonus for it. Don't fret too much over
the mindread cost of people. Lv15 gives a 100% discount, but that is a
horrible waste of skill points.

WISDOM: This skill boosts the EXP gain from all sources - enemies, quests,
and anything else. The value of this skill seems highly debated; some say it
is useless as it just makes enemies give less EXP faster, although the less
EXP is because you gained that level sooner. If nothing else, save most or all
of the Orobas Fjords quests till the end of the game, then max Wisdom and
turn them all in for a huge EXP boost. Wisdom's bonus EXP is listed
separately, so you always know just how much it's giving you.

LOCKPICK: This is a simple five-level skill that lets you open (most) locked
chests and doors. Each locked object has a level, and you need at least that
level in Lockpick to open it. It is probably worth maxing this out as soon as
possible and keeping it the entire game, as many treasures, great and small,
will be behind locked objects. Note that some chests that have a key can also
be opened via lockpick, and if your lockpick level is high enough, it will
ALWAYS be used to open it, meaning you keep that key forever. FOREVER. There
is no way of knowing the lockpick level of a chest or door, except by trying
to open it. If you can't, you need a higher level.

ENCUMBRANCE: This affects your inventory size. One point is in this skill
by default, and is permanent, setting you at a 100-item inventory. Although
most people consider additional points a supreme waste, if you're an item
collector, or just a packrat, this skill is essential.

UNARMED EXPERTISE: This affects fighting when you have no melee weapons
equipped, or just a shield. Many consider this skill useless compared to
using weapons, but a properly raised character, focusing on Strength, and
using melee skills can do decent damage with this. It's still not as useful
and effective throughout the game as wielding a weapon, but it's not weak to
the point of being useless. One point is permanently invested by default.

SINGLE-HANDED WEAPON EXPERTISE: This affects fighting when you have a single
one-handed melee weapon equipped, leaving your other melee slot vacant. This
has an advantage in swinging speed, but its power if extremely low compared to
other weapon expertise skills. This is possibly the worst possible choice to
make, aside from Unarmed. One point is permanently invested by default.

DUAL-WIELDING EXPERTISE: This affects fighting when you have a one-handed
melee weapon in both melee slots. This is the most potent form of fighting,
outpacing damage from everything except Two-Handed. Melee skills, when used
with this, use the total damage of both weapons combined for their output,
making this skill truly destructive. At Lv10 and after, put the stronger
weapon in your off hand. On top of that, each weapon applies BOTH weapons'
enchantments and charms to the damage, which is probably an oversight, but an
extremely powerful one. One point is permanently invested by default.

weapon and a shield equipped. This is a decent skill that gives a good damage
bonus for the cost of some of Single-Handed Weapon's speed, but the bonus to
the shield is negligable, and doesn't affect enchantment-based bonuses. This
is your only option for using a shield, but consider Dual-Wield or Two-Handed
instead. One point is permanently invested by default.

weapon equipped. Two-handed weapons have a much wider arc in their swing,
allowing hitting multiple enemies. Their animation is pretty fast. considering
their size. The damage variance for the weapons are much greater, though. This
is definitely a top-tier choice, like Dual-Wield. One point is permanently
invested by default.

DRAGON SKILLS
--------------------------------
These skills are used in your dragon form, and have their own separate skill
points. There are 29 total free dragon skill points in the game, and 34 are
needed to max all seven skills (it would be 35, but Firebreath has one
permanent point in it). With three skill-boosting pieces of armor, you can
have 32 of 34 skill levels. When choosing which skill to shortchange, I would
recommend Dragon Polymorph or Summon Friend. Polymorph is the best bet, as
more levels just means more enemies affected in a single shot, and longer
duration.
FIREBREATH: Your basic breath attack. This skill is not as important to max as
Fire Sphere and Dragon Spirit, however. The damage increase is nice, but
against most flying enemies Fire Sphere is needed to have any accuracy at all.
A point is in this skill by default, and is permanent.

DRAGON BURST: Seems useful, but its range isn't as far as you would hope, and
the power is middling. It may be better than other skills, but don't depend
too much on it. There are rarely enough enemies close enough to make this a
useful option, and since it locks you into place for a couple of seconds, it
is easy to rack up damage while using it.

each shot homes in on the targeted enemy, and will set them on fire, too,

trouble hitting them reliably. You start with a default point in this skill
that CAN be removed via Unlearn All Skills.

SUMMON FRIEND: Summons a wyvern ally to attack and divert other enemies in the
air. This can be a decent thing, but mostly as a meatbag to draw enemy attacks
away from you. Still, dragon battles tend to be more difficult than land ones,
so a summon to distract the enemies could be much more useful than one would
think, based on the Undead, Ghost, and Demon your human form can conjure.

DRAGON POLYMORPH: A much more useful skill than it may seem. It works on
pretty much any dragon enemy, including the Dragon Commanders and their
incredibly annoying full healing spells. This is essentially the only reliable
way to kill them. Don't invest too many levels into this, though. Higher
levels only make it affect more enemies at once and last longer, but there are
rarely more than 2 enemies you're "targeting" at any given time, and even
level 1 lasts long enough to kill an afflicted Dragon Commander.

*2* UNIQUE EQUIPMENT
========================================================
Unique equipment covers all items (weapons, armor, jewelry) that may be found
which are unique in some way. This is either a special equipment type
altogether, properties that make it unique (especially skill boosts on
weapons or armor), and so forth. The obtained entry lists where and how the
item is acquired. The lost entry lists when (and if) the item is taken from
your possession.
The full name, including titles, of each item is in parentheses next to the
basic name (shown in the item list). If an item has open slots, it will list
the default title. If the starting properties are random, it will list the
title as variable. If no titled name is listed, it does not and cannot have
titles. NONE OF THESE ITEMS HAVE A RARITY, such as uncommon, rare, magical,
heroic, or legendary. For a few particular items, the lack of a rarity is the
ONLY defining feature that makes them unique.
Note that there seem to be two main types of special equipment:
1: Those with EMPTY enchantment slots!
Equipment with enchantment slots that start empty seem set in stone, and will
be the same every single time. They start out with a title that, while it has
a suffix, does not have the enchantment to go along with it.
2: Those with FILLED enchantment slots!
Equipment with filled enchantment slots seem to have their buffs and number
of charm slots randomized when obtained. Their enchantments are also random,
but the number of slots is pre-determined. Unlike random equipment in shops
and chests, the enchantments are based on the ITEM'S level. For these items,
the range of potential buffs are also listed (for example, "Main stats: 1 - 2"
means that one random buff could be to Vitality, Spirit, Strength, Dexterity,
or Intelligence, and be a bonus of +1 or +2).
Items marked with the "Cannot be sold, stored, or destroyed" notice do NOT
count towards your inventory limit! These are essentially quest items that
also have an actual function as opposed to inventory space hogs that you
can get suckered into forever.
The Mindread entry lists whoever is required to mindread to access the item.
Whether they give it to you, it causes it to appear, or leads to acquiring
the item later, the important thing is WHO. If no mindread is listed, none
is required.

*3* EQUIPMENT SETS
========================================================
Equipment sets are collections of equipment, meant to all be equipped
together. These provide a bonus for using multiple pieces of the same set. The
more pieces, the bigger each piece's bonus.
The flying fortresses often have several islands overlapping, or different
levels of ground on a single island. These are referred to as "tiers." For
example, Raze's fortress has the southern part with the entrance portal, the
northern Headquarters part, and an easter and western three-tier part. The low
tier is the one closest to the bottom, near the level with the portal. The
highest is on the same altitude as the Headquarters teleporter. These are key
for giving directions to the pieces of the sets.
A minimum of two pieces of a set must be equipped to get any bonus. The
bonuses for equipping multiple pieces of a set are listed in order, starting
with the bonus for two pieces. For example, Ulthring's Cuirass lists
+8/+12/+16 Melee Armor Rating. This means the cuirass provides +8 to melee
armor when two pieces are equipped, +12 with three, and +16 with all four.
The Archmage, Hunter, and Scorpion sets work differently from most unique
items. They start with filled enchantment slots, but none of their buffs,
charm slots, or actual enchantments are random. They are all pre-determined.
------------------------------------
3.1 - ALEROTH ARCHMAGE SET
------------------------------------
"Unique and incredibly powerful, the pieces of this set were fashioned by
Aleroth's first Archmage: the famed Mardaneus. Though he was buried in his
paraphernalia, graverobbers must have desecrated his last resting place, for
soon parts of the set were sold on the black market for exorbitant prices. And
so they sometimes fell into good hands, though more often into bad ones."
Pieces found throughout Stone's flying fortress.

They were then distributed among their most deserving members, and
redistributed when a piece holder died. To wear even part of the Armor of
Ulthring is considered to be a great honor, even though this honor usually
means the wearer becomes the center of Black Ring jealousy and greed."

*4* DLC EQUIPMENT SETS
========================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
With the release of Dragon Knight Saga, it appears that all DLC for the Xbox
360 version has been taken off of the Marketplace, and is thus unavailable. It
is unknown to me at this point whether those who have purchased them may still
download them via download history, if remaining pre-order DLC codes still
work, whether there is some method planned to allow players to still obtain
these sets within Ego Draconis, or whether or not PC players still have the
content available. If and when I obtain this information, I will update the
guide accordingly.
These sets are available as downloadable content (DLC). They are added to
your inventory the next time you load a save after downloading the content.
Each set costs 160 MSP ($2.00 US) on the Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox
360 version, or via the Games for Windows LIVE Client Software for the PC
version.
The items are automatically added to your inventory, which is when their
random properties (buffs, charm slots, and enchantments) are decided. Their
titles are determined by their random properties, as with anything randomly
generated. The set bonus is +5% to the listed stat for equipping two pieces of
the set, and +10% if all three are equipped.
The DLC's random properties, once determined, appear to be saved to the DLC
file itself. Anytime you start a new game, or load a game without that DLC,
the items given will have the same stats (buffs, charm slots, and
enchantments) each time. There does appear to be a way to reroll the changes,
but tests were unable to determine any real rhyme or reason to how it works.
Hope you get lucky!

On the PC version, Wild Dwellers sets 1 and 2 are switched! This means that
Wild Dwellers set 1 has the axe, and set 2 has the bow! Thanks to Dark Shadow

4.1 - BLOOD ECHELON SET 1
----------------
"The Blood Echelon is a select lodge of elite Dragon Slayers who have earned
the highest of distinctions on the battlefield. Members of the Echelon are
warriors unmatched and undefeated, mere mention of whom strikes panic in the
hearts of their enemies and sparks godlike admiration in those of their
allies. The current Blood Echelon Commander is a young woman called Rhode,
who is in all respects the ultimate Dragon Slayer.
Attack may be the best form of defense, but Dragon Slayers who spend more time
in the field rather than poised over battle maps know not to take this dictum
too strictly. 'Better to err on the side of caution', they justly proclaim
and dress themselves in the very best the order's smiths can fashion. Sturdy
as granite and shaped to intimidate, Blood Echelon armors set new standards
in the art of war."

4.3 - DEFENDERS OF ALEROTH SET 1
----------------
"The Defenders of Aleroth were a group of wizards who at the height of the
Great War formed a cabal that was to play a pivotal part in the city's
defense. Experienced casters all, they were terrifying opponents who refused
to yield when an army of Demons launched a massive assault. None of them
survived, but the carnage they inflicted was of such a scale that they have
become legends among the people of Rivellon and today, sparse though its
numbers may be, their equipment is sought after by even the most powerful
of battle mages.
Magic was the Defenders' first line of attack and defense, yes, but they knew
too much about war not to encase themselves in the protection of steel.
Wrought by the armor smiths that would later supply the Aleroth Champions,
their armors are brilliant pieces of workmanship. It is no coincidence all
but exact replicas of them are now fashioned for those who enlist in the ranks
of the New Order of Rivertown."

4.5 - RIVELLON GUARDS SET
----------------
"The Rivellon Guards are plentiful in number, being the prime protectors of
many villages that dot the glades and vales, but that does not mean they are
not a force to be reckoned with, even individually. For without them mankind
would be doomed to fall prey to the many, many foes that threaten
civilization. Dragon Slayers and Aleroth Champions may form the fists of the
human military body, but the Rivellon Guards, they are the backbone.
Guard armors have to be versatile as they must serve under many conditions:
they must be light enough to be worn all day, but strong enough to withstand
blade and arrow; flexible enough to be able to chase brigands up mountain
paths and through thick forests, but up to the challenge when their wearer is
ambushed by a troll or goblin raiding party. Striking a balance between so
many requirements is not easy, but years of tradition have supplied the
Rivellon guards with the best of the best."

4.6 - WILD DWELLERS SET 1
----------------
"About their existence there is no doubt, but few to none have actually seen
them. Merged with the wilderness like phantoms with shadows they go where
their fickle nature leads them in the everlasting quest for the protection of
nature against the 'barbarians' that would deface her with myriad cities; scar
her with fences and ploughs. Where settlers are found slain by the Wild
Dwellers' trademark arrowheads in the shape of maple leaves, no human - or
goblin for that matter - will dare to show his face ever again.
Wild Dweller armor is akin in quality and semblance to the flora and fauna its
wearers so fiercely guard. Brown as the earth itself, gray as the morning fog,
it blends the Dwellers with their surroundings; flexible yet resilient like
wolf's skin, but strategically plated like a beetle, it allows them rapid
movement without relinquishing the need for protection."

========================================================
*5* DRAGON ARMOR SETS
========================================================
These are armor sets for your dragon form. They provide either a stat bonus
(percentage) or a dragon skill bonus. There does not appear to be a bonus for
equipping all pieces of a particular set.
----------------
5.1 - BONE DRAGON SET
----------------
"Sturdy and almost as strong as metal, the bones of Dragons make for an
excellent exoskeleton that may protect a Dragon Knight's scaly skin from
being torn by wyvern claws. This use of Dragon bones, however, was viewed by
most who could take the wyrm's shape as disrespectful and a desecration of
their dead master's mighty remains."
Claws piece: +1 to Dragon Shield skill.
In the left chest of Lord Lovis' throne in the Citadel Armory. Unlocking it
requires successfully completing "Lost Soul," and thus failing "In Cold
Blood."
Cuirass piece: +40% to Hitpoints.
This is found in the Coffer chest in the bedchambers of the Battle Tower.
Helmet piece: +1 to Dragon Spirit skill.
Dropped by Amdusias in the Maxos Temple.
Leg piece: +40% to Offense.
This is found in the Coffer chest in the bedchambers of the Battle Tower.
Tail piece: +1 to Dragon Polymorph skill.
Found in a chest at the end of the Dark Cave (part of the "Temple of Doom"
quest and dungeon in the Bandit Camp). Make sure to get this before taking
the teleporter back to the Bandit Camp, or else it's lost forever!
----------------
5.2 - CHAINMAIL DRAGON SET
----------------
"When venturing into unknown or outright hostile areas, Dragon Knights knew it
couldn't hurt to wear some form of protection. Expert smiths would fashion
great sets of chain mail armor for their masters, which made it safe for them
to engage in combat with heftier foes."
Claws piece: +1 to Dragon Spirit skill.
In a large wooden chest in the Sinister Cave. This is in the room connected
to the northern teleporter in the main chamber (the one lowest to the
magma). Proceed partway through the platforming puzzle, and this chest is
next to a different teleporter.
Cuirass piece: +40% to Mana.
In a large wooden chest on the scaffolding behind Svadilfari in the Red
Hammer Tribe cave in the southeastern part of Orobas Fjords. Mindread
Svadilfari (before killing him, obviously) to unlock it. Note that this item
is named "Svadilfari's Dragon Armor" instead of the predicted "Chainmail
Dragon Cuirass."
Helmet piece: +1 to Fire Sphere skill.
In a large wooden chest in the Well Cave of High Hall. To access this,
you must mindread Zagan the demon at the end of the Well Cave, then defeat
him in dragon combat. The corridor you came in will collapse, leaving you
to escape via a blue-tinted corridor near the top of the room. In this
passage is the chest, IF you mindread Zagan.
Leg piece: +40% to Offense.
Found in a large wooden chest in the back of the Imp's Lair in Orobas
Fjords, found on a cliff southwest of Dragon Cliff Castle. The lair has a
crude wooden hut (like those in other goblin or imp areas) outside of it,
making it somewhat easier to find.
Tail piece: +1 to Dragon Shield skill.
Found in a large wooden chest east of Aurelius' office in the Champion
Harbor building. The key to it is found in a large grain sack in the fenced-
off corner of the room, past the merchant Irwin.
----------------
5.3 - CRYSTAL DRAGON SET
----------------
"The Great War taught Dragon Knights the harsh lesson that their dominion of
the skies could be challenged by the ferocious power of winged Demons. In
response the Dragon Knights created prodigious armor laced with crystal that
not only made them quasi-impervious to all that may harm, but also increased
their already legendary might."
Claws piece: +1 to Firebreath skill.
In a wooden chest in the library of the Aleroth Ministry building.
Cuirass piece: +40% to Hitpoints.
In the chest at the end of the Mysterious Cave (Bellegar's cave) in the
Orobas Fjords. All three choices must be made for evil, and not good.
Helmet piece: +1 to Fire Sphere skill.
This is found inside the sultry talking treasure chest in the main room of
the crypt. Its three questions must be answered correctly, and you only get
ONE chance at it. The correct answers are:
1: Three (skulls)
2: One health potion, two apples, one Droxlerite
3: Four (candles)
Leg piece: +40% to Defense.
In a large wooden chest in the middle room on the eastern side of Raze's
Headquarters, in his flying fortress. It is in the northern chest in the
room.
Tail piece: +1 to Dragon Burst skill.
In a golden chest in the main room of Rayhun's Headquarters, in the poisoned
Broken Valley.
----------------
5.4 - PLATE DRAGON SET
----------------
"From encounters with flying terrors such as airborne undead monsters grew the
need for Dragon Knights to increase the protection worn in battle. Taking cue
from the frequently-proven strength of plate armor worn in human shape, new
armor was forged in that same tradition to fit their mightier form. Their
efficacy soon quashed the hopes of necromancers who wanted to challenge the
Dragons' rule of the heavens."
Claws piece: +1 to Dragon Burst skill.
In a golden chest in the room of Geshniz's Headquarters, where Geshniz
herself is fought. The headquarters teleporter is on a cliff located near
Maxos Temple, in Broken Valley.
Cuirass piece: +40% to Mana.
In the chest at the end of the Mysterious Cave (Bellegar's cave) in the
Orobas Fjords. All three choices must be made for good, and not evil. This
will cost THREE stat points PERMANENTLY. One Vitality and Spirit point, and
one free stat point (Intelligence, if all have been allocated).
Helmet piece: +1 to Firebreath skill.
In a golden chest in Kali's Storage, located in a small compound atop the
center spire of the generator complex (northern half) of Kali's flying
fortress. The portal to her fortress is via the Rivertown Gorge exit of the
Orobas Fjords.
Leg piece: +40% to Defense.
In a golden treasure chest at the bottom of the Stone's Fortress Greenery
room in Stone's flying fortress, located through a blue portal on a cliff
east of Dragon Cliff Castle in Orobas Fjords.
Tail piece: +1 to Dragon Shield skill.
In a golden chest near the teleporter past Ba'al's lair in the Broken Valley
mine. This is in the eastern side of the small room past the arena where
Ba'al is fought.
========================================================
*6* BONUS SKILL POINTS
========================================================
There are a lot of bonus skill points to be had from books and mindreading,
almost as many (and for many players, probably many more) as are available
from leveling up. This section provides a detailed list of all available
bonus points, followed by a quick list of all points total.
To maximize the skill points gained from your Battle Tower servants' quests,
choose Wesson as Enchanter, Barbatos as Alchemist, Jonelath as Necromancer,
and Hermosa as Skill Trainer. All award 2 points, one for each quest, as
opposed to their counterparts, who only award 1. The exception is Jonelath,
who's quests give 3 points total, instead of Igor's 2.
All skill points before the Battle Tower are missed after claiming the tower
for your own. All skill points after the Battle Tower are missed once you
enter the Hall of Echoes.
----------------
Skill Books (1 skill point):
----------------
Book 1 (Farglow): Atop the rock in the middle of the training area. Climb
onto the rock past the campsite, then jump on the tree branch, walk along
it, and jump onto the top of the middle rock. The book can be seen from the
tree branch.
Book 2 (Broken Valley Village): In the Black Boar Pub, enter the locked door
on the right on the second floor and pick up Strange Volume I. Read it, then
pick up Strange Volume II from the counter at the bar. Strange Volume III
is near the bookshelf on the second floor (near the banquet table where
Mara is). The skill book can then be found in the fireplace.
Book 3 (Broken Valley): In the Secret Passage area beyond the door Martis
opens (post-landslide). Head straight in from the locked door, then proceed
past a spider web blocking the path, instead of turning to the left. Activate
the pressure plate and head inside the new passage. The skill book is on
the floor.
Book 4 (Citadel Dungeon): This is the area of Lovis' tower accessed via his
Scrying Stone. If you did not use the stone before giving it to Romon, enter
the church in Broken Valley Village, start "Into Thin Air," and pick up and
read Romon's Notes to unlock the chamber next to the Lake Shrine. This book
is obtained by activating the two pedestals (glowing purple), which create
two platforms near the exit. Climb these and press the button on the wall.
This will trigger four items on chains to be lowered from the ceiling.
Instead of picking one of the weapons, return to the corner you started in
(after using the stone), and you will see a Skill Book hanging there. Pick
it up, and all the chains will rise again. THIS SKILL POINT IS GONE FOREVER
IF YOU PICK ONE OF THE FOUR ITEMS ON CHAINS IN THE CENTER OF THE ROOM!
Book 5 (Naberius' Storage): Mindread Naberius in his old cave west of the
Chapel Shrine. Then go and collect four Parchment items from four wooden
chests throughout the southeastern section of Broken Valley. Take them to
ZixZax the imp (near Maxos Temple) and he will translate them, giving you
the password to the odd teleporter near the Chapel Shrine. Return to it and
activate it. It will teleport you to a ledge, on which you'll find Naberius'
Storage. Enter, take the key from the nearby cage, open the locked door,
and this skill book is waiting on the chair in the back.
Book 6 (Sinister Cave): In the main chamber, take the southernmost teleporter,
which is at the highest elevation of the three. In the middle of the long
corridor, find a key inside a broken coffin. Then, use it to open the large
wooden chest at the end of the corridor. It is near the Book of the Dead,
and two piles of (lootable) corpses.
Book 7 (High Hall Mines): In Mundus' second floor office in the High Hall
Mines, on the left end of his desk. To get here, follow the southeastern
path until you find a Troll Runekeeper. Kill it, pick up the runes, then
disable the barrier on the southwestern path. Take the elevator to the
second floor, and turn right after exiting.
Book 8 (Red Hammer Tribe): This book is behind Groth the Storyteller's locked
door. To access it, the quest "Much Ado About Goblins" must be completed. It
sits on a bench near a locked wooden chest.
Book 9 (Bone Burrow): Defeat the Ultimate Creature Boss enemy in Bone Burrow,
found on a cliff at the southeastern corner of Orobas Fjords. This enemy can
be found whether or not Jonelath is chosen, but it will only give the "quest
rewards" (including the skill book) if Jonelath was chosen!
Book 10 (Battle Tower): Complete the first quest for your Necromancer.
Jonelath's is "Out on a Limb," and Igor's is "The Book of the Dead." It will
be among the rewards.
Book 11 (Battle Tower): Complete the first quest for your Enchanter. Wesson's
is "Short Supply," and Radcliff's is "Delicate Affairs." It will be among
the rewards. BEWARE! Radcliff counts the skill book among the rewards you
must choose, and if you sell his Goblin Stone to the goblins, you cannot
choose the skill book at all!
Book 12 (Battle Tower): Complete the first quest for Barbatos, "Borrowed
Book," if you chose him as your Alchemist. ALLAN DOES NOT AWARD THIS SKILL
BOOK!
Book 13 (Battle Tower): Complete the first quest for Hermosa, "Dear John," if
you chose her as your Skill Trainer. KENNETH DOES NOT AWARD THIS SKILL BOOK!
Book 14 (Battle Tower): Complete the second quest for your Necromancer.
Jonelath's is "Risk Life for Limb," and Igor's is "Black Ring's Ring." It
will be among the rewards.
Book 15 (Battle Tower): Complete the second quest for Wesson, "Raging Raze,"
if you chose him as your Enchanter. Radcliff has no second quest, and
therefore CANNOT AWARD ANOTHER SKILL BOOK!
Book 16 (Battle Tower): Complete the second quest for your Alchemist. Allan's
is "Wisdom in a Bottle," and Barbatos' is "An Alchemist's Apparel." It will
be among the rewards.
Book 17 (Battle Tower): Complete the second quest for your Skill Trainer.
Kenneth's is "By the Book," and Hermosa's is "Murder for Myrthos." It will
be among the rewards. Be careful, as Kenneth counts the book among the
rewards you choose for the quest, so be sure to choose it!
Book 18 (Hall of Echoes - Ygerna's Memory): This book is found on the floor in
the entrance to Ygerna's Memory, where you enter from. It is literally right
behind you after the fight starts. It is not hard to find, but be aware
you'll be attacked by all the enemies in the room while you pick it up. This
is the room after finishing the Arena and entering the second black orb as
the dragon.
----------------
Skill point mindreads:
----------------
2pts: ZixZax, outside of Maxos Temple in Broken Valley. Costs 800 EXP.
1pt: Island, after finishing The Prophecy on Sentinel Island. This is an
automatic encounter after picking your servants (or entering the Battle
Tower during "Breaking an Entry" without choosing them all). This is the
only chance for this point! Costs 1400 EXP.
1pt: Sassan, after "Laiken in his Lair." Mindread her when she's standing on
the balcony of your personal chambers in the Battle Tower. Costs 1400 EXP.
1pt: Your Skill Trainer in the Battle Tower, after "Laiken in his Lair." This
is either Kenneth or Hermosa, whoever was chosen. Costs 1400 EXP.
1pt: Your Alchemist in the Battle Tower, after "Laiken in his Lair." This is
either Allan or Barbatos, whoever was chosen. Costs 1400 EXP.
1pt: Your Enchanter in the Battle Tower, after "Laiken in his Lair." This is
either Wesson or Radcliff, whoever was chosen. Costs 1400 EXP.
1pt: Your Necromancer in the Battle Tower, after "Laiken in his Lair." This is
either Jonelath or Igor, whoever was chosen. Costs 1400 EXP.
1pt: Lister, in front of the mine in Orobas Fjords. Your only chance is when
he calls out to you first, as he dies right afterwards. Don't miss this!
Costs 2400 EXP.
2pts: Zandalor, in the Ministry of Aleroth. When you first speak to him, tell
him you need to prepare first, then talk to him again and mindread him.
Costs 2400 EXP.
2pts: Ba'al, in the Broken Valley Mine. Make sure to mindread him when he
talks to you before the battle! Costs 3400 EXP.
1pt: Charon, in the Hall of Echoes Arena. Costs 3400 EXP.
1pt: Marius, in the Hall of Echoes Arena. Costs 3400 EXP.
1pt: Sassan, in the Hall of Echoes Arena. Costs 3400 EXP.
1pt: Amdusias, in the Hall of Echoes Arena. Costs 3400 EXP.
1pt: Ba'al, in the Hall of Echoes Arena. Costs 3400 EXP.
----------------
Special skill point sources:
----------------
2pts: The Ancient Journal, found on the Sentinel Island shipwreck (in a tree)
during the "Legend of the Ancient Mariner." This is in a chest inside the
ship, which takes dragon form to reach. Use the book from your quest item
list for the points, but beware! This will destroy the book, and condemn
the quest to failure!
1pt: Stone's Fortress Greenery. Obtain the herb buds from the large wooden
chest in the room before the spring, then drop the Black Rose and Moonshine
buds into the spring. The order doesn't matter. This skill point is rewarded
for doing so. WARNING! Choosing this will prevent obtaining 5 stat points
from the same source.
2pts: Rewarded for completing the Quest "Sight for Sore Eyes." Give two
Malachite Gems to Simeon and as an extra bonus on top of the normal quest
rewards, he will give you two skill points. Note that this is missable, as
there are a limited number of Malachite Gems in the game! If you sell, use,
or destroy them all and mine all Malachite Ore Veins, you CANNOT complete
the quest.
5pts: The Demon Wars, a quest item book that is dropped by Kali, in the
Headquarters of her flying fortress. Kenneth needs this for his second
quest, "By the Book," but if Hermosa was chosen as skill trainer, the book
and its skill points are yours.
----------------

========================================================
*7* BONUS STAT POINTS
========================================================
Like skill points, stat points may be obtained. These go towards boosting your
five main stats: Vitality, Spirit, Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence.
There are much fewer extra ones to be had, however. This is a detailed list
of all available stat points, as well as a select few special sources that
provide an increase to certain stats directly, instead of as points that are
free to distribute as the player likes.
Many mindread stat points have a very small window of opportunity, so to be
safe, mindread the people the first chance possible. Mindreading is also the
primary source of bonus stat points, as there are precious few Stats Books to
be found.
All stat points before the Battle Tower are missed after claiming the tower
for your own. All stat points after the Battle Tower are missed once you
enter the Hall of Echoes.
----------------
Stats Books (1 stat point):
----------------
Book 1 (Broken Valley Village): Sitting on a table in the main room of Arben's
Tomb, accessed during the story quest "To Lay a Ghost to Rest."
Book 2 (Champion Harbor Building): This book sits on a table inside Aurelius'
office in the Champion Harbor building in the Orobas Fjords.
----------------
Stat point mindreads:
----------------
1pt: Quincy, ONLY when he calls out to you from the guard tower outside of
Broken Valley Village! If you wait until he's back in the village, his
mindread becomes text-only. Costs 400 EXP.
1pt: Lomax, in Jackson's Farm, after killing Richard. ONLY if you side with
him against Richard in "New Order or Champion Chaos." To start that quest,
return a Goblin Heart to Richard, then when he brings up the "Feast or
Famine" quest, decline it. He will run off, and you can head to Jackson's
Farm to start "New Order or Champion Chaos." This point is ONLY available
right after killing Richard, when Lomax thanks you. After that, he reverts
to his text-only mindread form. Costs 400 EXP.
1pt: Christopher, ONLY when he is guarding the Bandit Camp (outside of the
camp). Completing "Into the Bandit's Den" will prevent you from gaining this
stat point, since he will be killed by the time you get to the camp. Costs
800 EXP.
1pt: Tagos, in the Bandit Camp. Completing "Into the Bandit's Den" will
prevent you from gaining this stat point, since Tagos will be hostile (and
then dead). Costs 800 EXP.
1pt: Jenae OR Filip, whichever you side with during "Daylight Robbery." The
one you side against is killed before they may be mindread. This is ONLY
available right after the battle. Once back at camp, Jenae will turn into
a non-dialogue NPC, whereas Filip will just plain vanish. They are mutually
exclusive, and therefore essentially the same point. Costs 800 EXP.
1pt: Toshan. He is a ghost in the Citadel Dungeon of Lovis' tower. Getting
there requires use of the Lovis' Scrying Stone BEFORE giving it to Romon in
Broken Valley Village, because Toshan is gone if the area is unlocked via
the "Into Thin Air" quest. Mindread him while he is talking to you. Costs
400 EXP.
1pt: Champion David. To get this, mindread David to open the quest "The
Fugitive," then threaten to turn David in to Richard. Confirm that you will
tell Richard, and David will flee. He can then be found on the mountain pass
leading to the Orobas Fjords. Mindread him there and the stat point is
yours. Note that once you talk to him near the Fjords, all dialogue options
cause him to flee and vanish forever, so it is your only chance!
1pt: Sassan. The living version of Sassan, in the summoning circle room, after
killing zombie Sassan, BUT BEFORE SUMMONING! This is the only chance for
THIS specific point! Waiting until afterwards will change it to the next
possible point. Costs 1400 EXP.
1pt: Sassan. This point comes from mindreading Sassan AFTER the summoning
ritual, but before following Razakel to Laiken. Costs 1400 EXP.
1pt: Augustus, Champion of Aleroth. He stands in front of the ministry in
the besieged city of Aleroth, reached after collecting at least one of each
type of Zeppelin part (compass, crystal, and rudder). Mindread him once
there. Costs 2400 EXP
----------------
Special stat point sources:
----------------
2pts: Mindread the Librarian in Maxos Temple. You will master an ancient
alphabet. Go to the room directly below the Librarian where there is a
pedestal with a book atop it. Examine the pedestal and read the book, and
it will give these two stat points. The mindread costs 800 EXP.
2pts: Mindread (living) Sassan when she's in the Bandit's Barracks (the
corridor RIGHT before the elevator, with the Black Ore Veins). This is the
only time this mindread is available! Doing this will unlock a book called
Erlking's Writings in the 1st floor library of the Battle Tower. Pick this
book up and read it for two stat points. You get a second momentary chance
at this mindread when Sassan talks to you once you have the Soul Forge
Contract. The mindread costs 700 EXP.
5pts: Stone's Fortress Greenery. Obtain the herb buds from the large wooden
chest in the room before the spring, then drop the Holy Basil and Oak Tears
buds into the spring. The order doesn't matter. The 5 stat points are
rewarded for doing so. WARNING! Choosing this will prevent obtaining a skill
point from the same source.
+1 to all five stats: After defeating Amdusias, Talana will tell you to pick
up the Book of the Dragon from the blood altar nearby. Doing this is
required to continue the story. Once picked up, you will be forced to read
it, and after doing so, will gain a boost of +1 to all five stats (Vitality,
Spirit, Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence).
+5 to Intelligence: Use the Potion of Wisdom, won from Geshniz in a flying
fortress. Be warned, if you chose Allan as your Alchemist, this will fail
his second quest, and prevent getting the second Alchemy platform upgrade!
If Barbatos was chosen, you're free to use it.
----------------

========================================================
*8* DRAGON SKILL POINTS
========================================================
Dragon skill points work like normal ones, except are used specifically for
dragon skills. This is a list of all bonus dragon skill points. Unlike normal
skill points, the ONLY source of dragon points are the ones listed here. None
are gained for leveling up, although the dragon does start with 1 point in
Fire Sphere.
When skills are unlearned at the skill trainer, dragon skills are unlearned
too, along with the default point in Fire Sphere. The total dragon skill
points available are what is listed here plus one more, making 29 total
points. Firebreath also has a point in it that, like Mindread, Encumbrabce,
and the weapon skills, can never be removed. This makes 30 points out of the
35 needed to max all 7 skills. Dragon armor can give +1 to three other
skills, so you can have a total of 6 skills at Lv5, and one at Lv3.
All dragon skill points before the Battle Tower are missed after claiming the
tower for your own. All dragon skill points after the Battle Tower are missed
once you enter the Hall of Echoes.
----------------

cliffs northwest of the Red Hammer Tribe shrine.

========================================================
*9* TITLE LIST
========================================================
Items use a title system, based on their buffs and enchantments. This is a
list of which buffs and stats add which titles. Note that when items are
first generated (as loot or a shop item), they use the first enchantment and
buff as the title. After that, whichever enchantment was last added determines
the title.
Buffs are the special effects in blue text. Enchantments are in beige. When
an item is disenchanted, it retains the title of the last enchantment added.
Some special items that can be found (listed in section 2 of this guide) have
enchantment titles without ever actually having had an enchantment, such as
the Mace and Slayerbane.
Normally, damage-based buffs (melee/ranged/magic damage and critical hit
bonuses) only occur on weapons, and defensive buffs (melee/ranged/magic armor
bonuses) only on armor, but charms will add their effect to the buff list.
Buff titles seem to be based on some value of the item, with "stronger" items
having progressively "stronger" sounding titles. This seems to be more based
on the item type, or source of the item, instead of the actual value of the
buff. Sometimes, the wrong title is used (such as Spiritual on an item that
gives +1 to Conditioned Body, not Indomitable Will). This makes little sense,
but happens.
I've tested numerous theories for WHY this happens, but nothing makes much
sense. So, the buff titles are accurate 80-90% of the time.
The name format used by items is:
([Rarity]) [Buff title] [Item name] of (the) [Enchantment title].

*10* BATTLE TOWER PLATFORM OPERATORS
========================================================
Various operator choices have different bonuses, quests, and costs. When
choosing them, often the EXP, skill points, and (lack of) giving up good items
is the deciding factor, as opposed to the specific services offered.
Each set of potential candidates (alchemists aside) also have special
interaction opportunities, such as the enchanter's smithing competition, the
necromancer's attempt to kill each other, and the trainer's duel. Check these
out if you wish, but keep in mind the necromancer or trainer who dies will no
longer be eligible for choosing as an assistant.
------------------------------------
10.1 - SKILL TRAINERS
------------------------------------
The skill trainers are the one profession available to your Battle Tower that
is unavailable in Broken Valley. They will allow you to increase your skill
caps from the default of level 5 to level 10, 13, and finally 15. Not all
skills can be increased, however. On top of that, the trainer can unlearn your
skills. The unlearning costs 5000 gold the first time, and doubles each
subsequent time. Overuse of this feature may lead to running the entire world
out of gold!
If you talk to Hermosa, she will propose a duel with her rival. Telling
Kenneth causes him to go challenge her. At the camp, he will express concern
over her gender. If you tell them to duel anyways, Hermosa will win and the
choice will be made for you; calling off the duel will still allow you to
choose.
Comments: Kenneth's quests are horribly stacked against you, reward-wise. Not
only do his missions give one less skill point then Hermosa's, he requires
giving up an item worth FIVE skill points. His first quest requires failing
another quest to achieve the maximum reward for, and his second only gives a
choice of EXP, gold, or a skill book, instead of giving all three AND an
additional choice. Hermosa requires giving up an Amulet and an otherwise-
useless quest item for the first quest, and the Myrthos sword for her second.
The two items for her first quest cannot be obtained without choosing her, so
they are not a loss either way.
Opinions: Kenneth's second quest requires giving up an item that gives FIVE
skill points. Do you know how valuable that is? You've played the game long
enough to reach the Battle Tower, so yes, you do. Screw you, Kenneth.
Lowdown:
-Kenneth:
1 skill point.
Priest and Mage skills are half price to train.
Maximum reward for 1st quest requires failing another quest.
Give up The Demon Wars quest item (worth 5 skill points!!!)
(If the above doesn't seem bad enough, consider that Choosing Kenneth costs
you SIX skill points: 5 from The Demon Wars, and 1 that Hermosa rewards but
Kenneth doesn't)
-Hermosa:
2 skill points.
Warrior and Ranger skills are half price to train.
Give up the Hermosa's Necklace jewelry item (must choose Hermosa to get).
Give up The Art of War quest item (no other use, must choose Hermosa to get).
Give up the Myrthos sword (very powerful, +1 to Destruction skill).
Recommended choice: Hermosa (by a huge margin)
----------------
KENNETH
----------------
Quest 1: "Apprentice and Adversary"
Task: Rescue Saul from the Slayer camp south of Champion Harbor. To do this,
first visit High Hall and examine the teleporter control panel there. Then
set the teleporter near Saul's cell to High Hall, and tell Saul it's set.
This fails the quest "Thorn in the Side," however, but failing it has no
consequences beyond losing out on the rewards.
Rewards: 4500 EXP, 520 gold, 2 of (1125 EXP, 520 gold, heroic armor, heroic
weapon, heroic jewelry, formula/charm).
OR...
Task: Kill Saul, which completes "Thorn in the Side" successfully, but upsets
Kenneth and greatly reduces your reward. This option will still allow for the
platform's upgrade, though.
Rewards: 1 of (4500 EXP, 520 gold).
Upgrade 1: Unlocks the second level of skill training, allowing most skills to
be trained to a maximum of level 13. Discounted skills cost 1500 gold, others
cost 3000 gold.
Quest 2: "By the Book"
Task: Give up The Demon Wars quest item, a book worth a massive FIVE skill
points. This book is dropped by Kali, in the Headquarters of her flying
fortress, found by taking the Rivertown Gorge exit of the Orobas Fjords.
Rewards: 1 of (6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book).
Upgrade 2: Unlocks the final level of skill training, allowing many skills to
be trained to a maximum of level 15. Discounted skills cost 2250 gold, others
cost 4500 gold.
Bonus: Magical skills are half-price to train (750 gold or the first boost,
1500 for the second boost, 2250 for the final boost). For the most part,
Priest and Mage skills are magical, and Warrior and Ranger skills are
physical. Dragon Slayer skills are never discounted.
(Unlocked immediately upon obtaining the Battle Tower)

HERMOSA

Quest 1: "Dear John"
Task: Deliver Hermosa's Necklace to Morgan in the Champion Harbor building,
then give the quest item Art of War Book (which Morgan gives you) to Hermosa
at the Battle Tower. Neither of these items can be obtained unless Hermosa is
chosen.
Rewards: 4500 EXP, 520 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1125 EXP, 520 gold).
Upgrade 1: Unlocks the second level of skill training, allowing most skills to
be trained to a maximum of level 13. Discounted skills cost 1500 gold, others
cost 3000 gold.
Quest 2: "Murder for Myrthos"
Task: Give up the sword Myrthos, a very powerful weapon that is dropped by
Kali, in the Headquarters of her flying fortress. This sword is a shame to
give away, but it still beats losing the 5 skill points Kenneth's quest
would cost you!
Rewards: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold).
Upgrade 2: Unlocks the final level of skill training, allowing many skills to
be trained to a maximum of level 15. Discounted skills cost 2250 gold, others
cost 4500 gold.
Bonus: Physical skills are half-price to train (750 gold or the first boost,
1500 for the second boost, 2250 for the final boost). For the most part,
Priest and Mage skills are magical, and Warrior and Ranger skills are
physical. Dragon Slayer skills are never discounted.
(Unlocked immediately upon obtaining the Battle Tower)
------------------------------------
10.2 - ALCHEMISTS
------------------------------------
Alchemists are the ones who will allow you to make potions, just like
Abanayamar did back in Broken Valley. Their functions are largely the same,
but each has a special potion ability to use, as well as reducing the number
of ingredients used per potion via upgrades to the platform.
The two Alchemists will talk about each other, but no contact or competition
with the two will occur.
Comments: Neither Alchemist requires much of a sacrifice for their first
quest. Allan requires some common ingredients, Barbatos needs a quest item
that is otherwise useless. Allan's second quest, however, requires giving up a
unique potion which gives +5 to your Intelligence stat. Barbatos' requires
surrendering the Alchemy Amulet. The free potions are nothing you can't easily
make yourself (and making better ones is simple, too), whereas the Allan Brew
is unique and cannot be acquired unless Allan is chosen.
Opinion: The +5 to Intelligence potion is a powerful thing. While the amulet
for Barbatos is nice, that Int bonus will follow you around everywhere, no
matter what is equipped. Barbatos also gives two skill books, instead of
Allan's one. This means Allan will cost you a skill point and 5 Intelligence -
not a good deal at all. The Allan Brew is a nice potion, but the cost is just
too high.
Lowdown:
-Allan
1 skill point.
Unique potion formula, "Allan Brew." (see section 17 for more info)
Give up the Potion of Wisdom consumable (permanent +5 to Intelligence stat).
-Barbatos
Slightly more EXP from quests.
2 skill points.
Free Lv5 stat potions (Strength, Dexterity, Vitality).
Give up the Master's Spell Book quest item (no other use).
Give up the Alchemy Amulet jewelry item (+1 to Regenerate and Wisdom).
Recommended choice: Barbatos (by a small margin)
----------------
ALLAN
----------------
Quest 1: "Allan Brew Confidential"
Task: Obtain one each of Whisperwood, Black Rose, Earth Root, and Holy Basil.
Harry, the herb runner in the Throne Room, can obtain them if needed. Give
them to Allan, and he will request a Dragon Nail too. Obtain one, give it to
him, and the quest will be complete.
Rewards: 4500 EXP, 2 of (520 gold, 6 formulas).
Upgrade 1: All potions consume one less of each ingredient to brew. Once the
cost of all ingredients of a potion are 1, further reductions (via upgrade or
the Master Herbalist skill) will begin eliminating ingredients entirely. All
potions will always require at least one of the first ingredient on the list,
however.
Quest 2: "Wisdom in a Bottle"
Task: Give up the Potion of Wisdom, a unique consumable that gives a
permanent +5 to Intelligence! It is dropped by Geshniz, in her Headquarters
in the poisoned Broken Valley, near Maxos Temple.
Rewards: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold).
Upgrade 2: All potions consume one less (two less total) of each ingredient to
brew. Once the cost of all ingredients of a potion are 1, further reductions
(via upgrade or the Master Herbalist skill) will begin eliminating
ingredients entirely. All potions will always require at least one of the
first ingredient on the list, however.
Bonus: Will make the unique "Allan Brew" potion. This is a potion that boosts
all armor ratings by 36 for 180 seconds. This makes it 50% more powerful than
the Ultimate Potion of Full Resistance (level 10). The cost for the Allan Brew
is 4x Black Rose, Dragon Nail, Earth Root, Holy Basil, and Whisperwood. These
costs can be reduced by upgrading the Alchemy platform, and by the Master
Herbalist skill. One is given to you for finishing the quest, and the recipe
is added to your recipe list when making potions.
(Unlocked after finishing his first quest, "Allan Brew Confidential")
----------------
BARBATOS
----------------
Quest 1: "Borrowed Book"
Task: Give up the quest item Master's Spell Book, found in the Bandit Hideout
where the outlaw Ragon resides. It is found after turning all dragon statues
in Ragon's room as far as they will go.
Rewards: 4500 EXP, 520 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1125 EXP, 520 gold).
Upgrade 1: All potions consume one less of each ingredient to brew. Once the
cost of all ingredients of a potion are 1, further reductions (via upgrade or
the Master Herbalist skill) will begin eliminating ingredients entirely. All
potions will always require at least one of the first ingredient on the list,
however.
Quest 2: "An Alchemist's Apparel"
Task: Give up the Alchemy Amulet (dropped by Rayhun in his Headquarters in
Broken Valley).
Rewards: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold).
Upgrade 2: All potions consume one less (two less total) of each ingredient to
brew. Once the cost of all ingredients of a potion are 1, further reductions
(via upgrade or the Master Herbalist skill) will begin eliminating
ingredients entirely. All potions will always require at least one of the
first ingredient on the list, however.
Bonus: Will make Substantial (level 5) stat potions (Strength, Dexterity, or
Intelligence) for free, via a dialogue option. After choosing one, he walks to
the table and will take a few seconds to make the potion. During this time, he
cannot be used to make potions normally.
(Unlocked after finishing his first quest, "Borrowed Book")
------------------------------------
10.3 - ENCHANTERS
------------------------------------
Enchanters play the same role as Dreavan from Broken Valley: give equipment
special effects using ore and gems. The main difference is your Battle Tower's
enchanters can reduce the cost of certain enchantments when upgraded!
If you talk to Wesson, then Radcliff, then Wesson again, the two will engage
in a weaponsmithing contest. You will get Wesson's Sword and Radcliff's Sword,
with the latter being much stronger. This has no impact on the decision
between the two, except to show off who makes better weapons.
Comments: Radcliff only has one quest, which grants both upgrades. The trick
is that the item in the quest can be traded for two Malachite Gems, but at
the cost of one of the upgrades. On top of this, Radcliff only gives 1 skill
point, instead of Wesson's two, and ONLY if you don't get the Malachite Gems.
Opinion: Radcliff's quest is a mess of mutually exclusive rewards and possible
permanent gimping of the platform's capabilities. Two Malachite Gems really
aren't worth two skill points and the final upgrade, unless you are aimlessly
playing the game to beat it and never look back, in which case this FAQ is
probably not for you.
Lowdown:
-Wesson
Much more EXP from quests.
2 skill points.
Give up the Wesson's goods quest item (no other use).
Give up the Raze's Cuirass armor item (+1 to Reflect).
-Radcliff
1 skill point.
Can get 2 malachite gems at the cost of the skill point and 2nd upgrade.
Give up the Goblin Stone quest item (can't get without Radcliff).
Recommended choice: Wesson (by a large margin)
----------------
WESSON
----------------
Quest 1: "Short Supply"
Task: Obtain the quest item Wesson's goods in the Depleted Ore Mine and give
it to Wesson. The fugitive beholder Alutiiq drops the key to its chest. This
is in a small room in the northeastern section of the mine.
Rewards: 4500 EXP, 480 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1125 EXP, 480 gold).
Upgrade 1: The player's choice of Weapons, Armor, or Jewelry enchantments will
take one less of each ingredient to enchant. This cannot reduce the cost of
an ingredient below 1, however.
Quest 2: "Raging Raze"
Task: Give up Raze's Cuirass (dropped by General Raze in the Headquarters of
his flying fortress).
Rewards: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold).
Upgrade 2: The player's choice of Weapons, Armor, or Jewelry enchantments will
take one less of each ingredient to enchant. This cannot reduce the cost of
an ingredient below 1, however.
Bonus: None.
----------------
RADCLIFF
----------------
Quest: "Delicate Affairs"
Task: Radcliff gives you the Radcliff's Key quest item. Head to the winding
path in the Fjords which lead to the Rivertown Gorge exit (at the southern
end). Atop a hill there will be a chest. Open it and collect the Goblin
Stone quest item. Two goblins flyers will insist you give it back. Fight and
kill them, then return the Goblin Stone to Radcliff. The two goblins must be
killed before the stone can be given to Radcliff.
Rewards: 1 of (6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book).
OR...
Task: Once you open the chest, sell the Goblin Stone you just got to some
goblins! GREAT IDEA! Rewards 1 are from the goblins, Rewards 2 from Radcliff.
THIS WILL PREVENT OBTAINING THE SECOND PLATFORM UPGRADE FOREVER!
Rewards 1: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 2 Malachite Gems, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold,
heroic armor, heroic weapon, heroic jewelry, formula/charm)
Rewards 2: 1 of (6000 EXP, 600 gold).
Upgrade 1: The player's choice of Weapons, Armor, or Jewelry enchantments will
take one less of each ingredient to enchant. This cannot reduce the cost of
an ingredient below 1, however.
Upgrade 2: The player's choice of Weapons, Armor, or Jewelry enchantments will
take one less of each ingredient to enchant. This cannot reduce the cost of
an ingredient below 1, however.
Bonus: None.
------------------------------------
10.4 - NECROMANCERS
------------------------------------
These are the attendants who will allow you to assemble your undead Creature,
summoned by the Crystal Skull. They perform the same functions Naberius did
in the Broken Valley saga. If you did not acquire the Crystal Skull in Broken
Valley, your necromancer will give it to you upon obtaining the Battle Tower.
If you tell Igor to poison Jonelath, then Jonelath will die when you leave the
Necromancer's cave. If you inform Jonelath of that plan before leaving, he
will kill Igor when you leave the cave. Either way, your Necromancer will be
decided for you.
Comments: Aside from the melee/magic resistance issue, Jonelath's quests give
more EXP. Igor's also require giving up Stone's Ring, which can't even be
obtained unless Igor is chosen. Jonelath's first quest seems bugged, and gives
two sets of rewards. Set 1 is given upon killing the target, while set 2 is
upon returning to Jonelath. This is a HUGE consideration, as this means it
gives TWO skill books, instead of one. Jonelath this gives 3 skill points
total, to Igor's two.
Opinion: The actual necromancy aside, Jonelath is superior to Igor in every
way; more EXP and no unique items given up. The only concern is Jonelath's
second quest may apparently glitch and not let you complete it if Xanlosch and
Isabelle are killed before you obtain the quest. I have tried it, and killing
them beforehand does NOT affect the quest, but be warned it may be possible.
Lowdown:
-Jonelath:
More Melee Armor for Creature.
More EXP from quests.
3 skill points.
-Igor:
More Magic Armor for Creature.
2 skill points.
Give up the Book of the Dead quest item (no other use).
Give up the Stone's Ring jewelry item (+1 to Summon Mastery and Blind, can't
get without Igor).
Recommended choice: Jonelath (by a good margin)
----------------
JONELATH
----------------
A Black Ring necromancer, yanked from Damian's employ. Loyal to Damian but
willing to work for you despite your quest.
Quest 1: "Out on a Limb"
Task: Defeat the "Ultimate Creature Boss" in the Bone Burrow, found in the
southeastern corner of the Orobas Fjords. Defeating it flags the quest as
complete, so it can be turned in successfully even if the body part the
Ultimate Creature Boss yields is sold or destroyed.
Rewards: 6000 EXP, 560 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (Well-Preserved Remains of a
Head, Torso, Arms, or Legs).
Rewards 2: 6000 EXP, 560 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 560 gold).
Upgrade 1: Increases the Creature's Melee Armor bonus from +10 to +20.
Quest 2: "Risk Life for Limb"
Task: Fight and defeat Xanlosch and his creature Isabelle in the central
compound of Stone's flying fortress. Although he asks you to bring back a
body part of Isabelle's, like his first quest, just defeating it flags the
quest as completed, so discarding, selling, or turning in the body parts won
before turning in the quest does not affect its completion.
Rewards: 6000 EXP, 560 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 560 gold).
Upgrade 2: Increases the Creature's Melee Armor bonus from +20 to +30.
Bonus: Gives your Creature an extra bonus of +10 to Melee Armor rating.
(Unlocked immediately upon obtaining the Battle Tower)
----------------
IGOR
----------------
Jonelath's apprentice, also Black Ring. A specialist in poison, and completely
loyal to whoever he calls master.
Quest 1: "The Book of the Dead"
Task: Give up the quest item Book of the Dead, found in the Sinister Cave
where the bounty target Barnabus resides. This is found at the end of the
corridor the southern teleporter in the main chamber connects to. The book
can be found even if Igor was not chosen, but has no value outside of this
quest.
Rewards: 4500 EXP, 520 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1125 EXP, 520 gold).
Upgrade 1: Increases the Creature's Magic Armor bonus from +10 to +20.
Quest 2: "Black Ring's Ring"
Task: Give up Stone's Ring (dropped by General Stone in the Arena of his
flying fortress). This ring only drops if Igor was chosen as Necromancer, so
there is no way to keep it and perfect your Battle Tower.
Rewards: 6000 EXP, 600 gold, 1 Skill Book, 1 of (1500 EXP, 600 gold).
Upgrade 2: Increases the Creature's Magic Armor bonus from +20 to +30.
Bonus: Gives your Creature an extra bonus of +10 to Magic Armor rating.
(Unlocked immediately upon obtaining the Battle Tower)
========================================================
*11* BESTIARY
========================================================
This is a list of all the monster list entries (the fourth section of the
logbook) and where they can be found. They are listed in the order used in
the game, NOT alphabetical or location order.
NOT ALL ENEMIES GIVE AN ENTRY! If you kill an enemy and no entry is added,
they don't have one. Additionally, all enemies with "classes" are compiled
into one entry. All Tribal Goblins, whether a warrior, ranger, mage, shaman,
healer, or chief are all under the "Tribal Goblin" entry.
Enemies listed as found during a specific quest indicate that the listed
enemy is placed directly in your path, and therefore missing the entry
requires active ignorance on the player's part.
Enemy EXP is based on how much of their HP you deplete. When fighting
alongside allies, the damage they inflict reduces your EXP gain. An enemy
entry is only added if you obtain EXP from a kill! The exception is when your
Creature, or a summon spell kills the enemy; full EXP is gained.
A glitch occurs when you save the game mid-battle: All damage done to the
enemy is "forgotten" temporarily. If you save before dealing the finishing
blow, and when reloaded, the enemy dies (such as from fire, poison, bleeding,
or an NPC's attacks), you will gain NO EXP for the kill, nor the enemy's
entry. To correct this, damage the enemy again before they die. You will still
gain the correct amount of EXP, but the game needs the "reminder."
Entries marked with exclamations can be missed more easily than others. One
mark is only missable if you aren't thorough in exploration. Two and above
are VERY missable unless the right steps (and sacrifices) are undertaken at
the right time.
----------------
(!): An enemy which requires extra exploration besides just wandering around.
These entries usually require extra actions such as exploring side dungeons,
or activating various aspects of the game world. These are possible to miss
or skip if you are not thorough in exploration.
(!!): Requires making the right (or wrong) choices during a quest. This can
involve siding with a specific party in a quest that requires a choice in
who to ally with. These are very missable if you do not make the correct
choice, but making that choice has no impact on failing or missing a quest.
(!!!): These entries are difficult to get, requiring specific decisions during
a quest (or quests), and in the correct order. Read them carefully to know how
to handle the decisions.
(!!!!): An enemy which is extremely easy to miss entirely. This requires
choices that can skip or even fail a quest. These may be extremely
unintuitive to find, and will usually require actions which deny you other
resources.

Found in the Red Hammer Tribe cave, during the quest "A Shaman's Ransom," or

Moral Cave Skeleton (!!)
These are found in the Mysterious Cave (Bellegar's cave) in the Orobas
Fjords. They are found on the following path: 1st evil, 2nd evil. This and
the Moral Cave Imp are mutually exclusive. (Tier 2)
Moral Cave Goblin
These are found in the Mysterious Cave (Bellegar's cave) in the Orobas
Fjords. They are found on the first branch corridor of both good and evil
(and several others), so they cannot be missed. They also appear on the
following paths: 1st good, 2nd evil and 1st evil, 2nd good. (Tier 1)
Moral Cave Walking Armor (!!)
These are found in the Mysterious Cave (Bellegar's cave) in the Orobas
Fjords. They are found on the following paths: 1st good, 2nd evil, 3rd good,
or 1st good, 2nd good, 3rd evil. This and the Moral Cave Dragon Elf, Undead,
and Demon are mutually exclusive. (Tier 3)
Moral Cave Undead (!!)
These are found in the Mysterious Cave (Bellegar's cave) in the Orobas
Fjords. They are found on the following paths: 1st evil, 2nd good, 3rd evil,
or 1st evil, 2nd evil, 3rd good. This and the Moral Cave Dragon Elf, Walking
Armor, and Demon are mutually exclusive. (Tier 3)
Moral Cave Demon (!!)
These are found in the Mysterious Cave (Bellegar's cave) in the Orobas
Fjords. They are found on the following path: 1st evil, 2nd evil, 3rd evil.
This and the Moral Cave Dragon Elf, Walking Armor, and Undead are mutually
exclusive. (Tier 3)

exclusive. (Tier 3)
Keara's Fire Skeleton
Found inside Keara's Headquarters in her flying fortress.
Keara's Walking Armor
Found inside Keara's Headquarters in her flying fortress.
Keara's Black Ring
Found scattered around outside in Keara's flying fortress.
Keara's Metal Skeleton (!!!)
Found inside Keara's Headquarters during "Close to the Bone," past the
locked door. To get this entry, you must refuse to tell Keara of Velanir's
ghost, angering him. When Keara attacks, Velanir's skeleton will join him in
the battle. Completing the quest optimally will cause him to not attack and
deny the entry, as will telling Keara of Velanir's presence at all. Refusing
to help Velanir's ghost at the beginning might allow both this and the
Keara's Ghost entries to be obtained.
Keara's Ghost (!!!!)
Found inside Keara's Headquarters when you first enter. Getting this
requires refusing to help Velanir, causing him to go hostile. Kill his ghost
for this entry. This locks you out of the quest "Close to the Bone." The
Keara's Metal Skeleton entry may or may not be obtainable if this path is
chosen. The logic is sound, but it has not been tested.

by certain enemies.

========================================================
*12* TRADERS AND SHOPS
========================================================
This is a list of shops, where they are, what the stock, and how one may get
a discount (or discounts). Angering a shopkeeper (most likely by failing a
quest they ask of you) will raise their prices, and in some cases, cause them
to refuse to trade with you at all. The price formula works like so:
(Final price) = (Base price) * ((Discount 1)+(Discount 2)) * (Price raise)
This formula doesn't always work, particularly when dealing with discounts and
price raises that aren't 25% or 100%. I'm not sure why the result is off, but
it's not by much.
Shops restock items every time you gain a level. Randomly generated stock is
replaced each level, so if you see something in a shop (such as a skill
boosting piece of jewelry), be sure to buy it ASAP. Rarities of items sold
depend on the trader, and are listed in the below lists. "Common" equipment
(no rarity) are always pre-determined. Randomly generated equipment will
always be uncommon or rarer.
Pre-set items are ones the trader is guaranteed to start with, and will always
remain until purchased, but one purchased, will never restock (unless they
are also part of the random items). If their inventory listing is left empty,
the pre-set items are the only items they ever stock.
If a shopkeeper has requirements to either trade with, or vanishes at some
point, it will be listed. Note that all Broken Valley and Sentinel Island
traders may no longer be accessed after acquiring the Battle Tower. All
remaining shopkeepers cannot be accessed after entering the Hall of Echoes in
the endgame.

========================================================
*14* QUEST ITEMS
========================================================
A list of quest items and their properties and uses. The following is a list
of terms used:
Type: The item type, listed under the item name in your inventory.
Quest: What quest, if any, the item is a part of.
-Temporary: This item vanishes once its quest is closed, even if unused.
-Permanent: This item stays in the item list forever, unless given away/used.
-Give up: This item is given or used during the quest, and thus is lost.
-Story: Needed for a story quest, and thus its fate is out of your hands.
Purpose: The function the item serves in the game.
Found: Where the item is located and obtained. If it has more than one
possible location, all locations will be listed as Found (1), Found (2), etc.
Use: The item's effect when used from your inventory.
-Vanish: This tag is just a warning to read the "Use" description, because one
or more uses of the item will destroy it in the process, possibly failing
quests.
Multiple properties can exist at one time. For example, an item that is marked
permanent AND give up means that while the quest requires giving or using it
(thus removing it from your inventory), it is possible to complete the quest
without using it, or possibly fail the quest (or not finish it, period) to
keep the item. A temporary item would vanish from your inventory upon the
quest closing, succeed or fail, no matter what you do.
If permanent or temporary are not marked on an item, it means I do not know
which the item is. This is usually for quests which can only be passed by
giving the item away, and only failed by obtaining the Battle Tower, or
entering the Hall of Echoes.
----------------
Alutiiq's Mask
----------------
Type: Quest Item
Quest: "A Hunting We Shall Go Again" (Alutiiq subquest). (give up)

Purpose: Contains information Turgyon wishes to learn.
Found: In a chest in the belly of a shipwreck suspended in a large tree on
the southeastern corner of Sentinel Island. Requires dragon form to reach.
Use: Prompts to read the book. If you do, the book is destroyed, you get two
skill points and fail the quest if and when you return to Turgyon and report
your action. (vanish)
"A book filled with wondrous magic, ready to be used - but once and only
once."
NOTE: The two skill points are definitely better than finishing the quest,
unless you REALLY value not having a failed quest in the list.
----------------
Arcane Notebook
----------------

Purpose: Possesses a spell to stop the wind, allowing the candles to be lit.

NOTE: One of these is needed to pass the rockslide blocking the main passage.

instead of letting Eamon and Mona do it. This is the only option that allows

allow one to keep the money and make use of his services.

Let me tell you about keys. They are all named just "Key." They use one of
three key graphics: a bronze, silver, or gold key. They unlock locked chests,
doors, and so forth. Each key is specific to a certain locked item. Some of
these locked items CAN be lockpicked. If picked before obtaining the key, the
keep will stay in your inventory forever once picked up. One key has an
unknown purpose, and is dropped by a Tribal Goblin Chief in the Secret
Passage in Broken Valley, near the Farm exit.

Temple Key, and Mister Shiny) will have their own entries, but know that
these are still just plain old keys.

NOTE: Destroying the soul stone fails "Lost Soul" and lets you complete "In
Cold Blood." Completing "Lost Soul" by returning it fails "In Cold Blood."
The only way to avoid having a failed quest in your quest log is to simply
not accept "In Cold Blood" at all.

Found: Atop the spire east of Vacca's cave, on the top wyvern nest.
Use: None.
"This wyvern egg is a lot larger than any other example you've seen before,
and it was probably laid by the matriarch of the wyvern clan you stole it
from. Its greenish appearance matches its rotten dead goblin smell, but
surely someone on this surreal island would love to get his, her, or its
hands on it."

Champion Harbor settlement.
Found (3): In a wyvern nest along the cliffs in the southern end of Orobas

*15* VALUABLE MINDREADS
========================================================
This section covers all mindreads that have an actual purpose and are not just
flavor text. Note that mindreading is essential to utilize whatever function
it serves. Passwords cannot be guessed and treasure chests will not exist
unless the person is mindread first.
Mindreads that cover other functions are discussed in the relevant section.
This includes:
-Skill, stat, and dragon skill points
-Shop discounts
-Malachite Gems
-Unique items
-Dragon Armor
----------------
Barbara (Farglow)
----------------
COST: 3 EXP
BENEFIT: Unlocks a dialogue option to sell Gerald for a discount and 50 gold.
This dialogue option is when talking to Gerald. This removes The Adventures of
Fabial of Ferol from your ivnentory, but this item would be lost after leaving
Farglow anyways. It nets a 25% discount and 50 gold.
----------------
Crabbe, ore specialist and miner (Orobas Fjords)
----------------
COST: 1200 EXP
BENEFIT: Supposedly increases rewards from Red Ore Veins.
The mindread says it increases the amount of items obtained from Red Ore
Veins, however I have not been able to figure out what it actually does. If
anyone knows for sure, let me know!
----------------
Derk, the village blacksmith (Broken Valley Village)
----------------
COST: 133 EXP
BENEFIT: Spawns a key in the barn next to the Black Boar; also, discount.
This mindread gives the 25% discount listed in the Trader section, but also
spawns the key to Derk's basement in the barn next to the Black Boar pub. In
Derk's basement is a locked chest with a rare (sometimes magical) rarity item
inside. Worthwhile.
----------------
Doctor Needleman, atop Lord Lovis' tower late in the game (Broken Valley)
----------------
COST: 2400 EXP
BENEFIT: Gives the password to his storage.
Needleman's storage is located next to the Broken Valley portal to Stone's
flying fortress. Inside are two Black Rock ore veins, a plain wooden chest
with a major or blessed charm, a formula or two, and some random gems, herbs,
and ore, and a jewelry box and large wooden chest with common loot inside.
----------------
Edmund, gatekeeper of Farglow (Farglow)
----------------
COST: 3 EXP
BENEFIT: Spawns a key in the Goblin Training Area.
The key unlocks the chest in the corner of the village, on the opposite side
of the building from Tiresias. This contains a random item, and would not be
worth it were it not for the low cost of the mindread. Any item that could be
acquired at a Farglow level would be all but worthless in even half an hour of
play.
----------------
Elfrith, a sailor (Sentinel Island)
----------------
COST: 700 EXP
BENEFIT: Random gem + random magical-rarity jewelry in a small chest.
Elfrith saw a small chest on the large skull southwest of the Shipwreck
Colony. This chest contains a gem and a magical rarity piece of jewelry,
making it a good choice to save before opening and reload for an item with a
skill bonus.
----------------
Erlking, mute goblin and servant of Laiken (Battle Tower)
----------------
COST: 700 EXP
BENEFIT: Advance the main storyline.
Erlking's mindread is necessary to advance the main storyline of the game.
'Nuff said. After mindreading him, check the bookcase in the corner and choose
Gothe's Ballads, the last item on the list.
----------------
Geshniz, Black Ring Alchemist General (Geshniz's Headquarters)
----------------
COST: 2400 EXP
BENEFIT: Spawns a small chest with formulas in it.
Mindreading Geshniz before the fight will spawn a small chest with three
formulas (two potion, one enchantment) and a random gem right behind where she
starts out. The trick is that these formulas can apparently be of ANY level,
from 1 to 10. Not very useful, since higher level enchantments and potions are
superior, but for collectors, it is a second chance to get a missed low-level
potion formula.
----------------
Gwyn, the crazy man (High Hall)
----------------
COST: 1200 EXP
BENEFIT: Unlocks the nearby chest.
The chest contains several items, including some limited quality potions, a
random formula or two, and some random herbs. Not the best reward, but it can
be nice to sell enchantment formulas for a nice amount of money.
----------------
Island, upon exiting Maxos Temple (Sentinel Island)
----------------
COST: 1400 EXP
BENEFIT: Gain the EXP needed to gain one level.
This is the FIRST meeting with Island, when you first enter the island from
Maxos Temple. This will give you the EXP needed to gain a level, whatever
amount that may be. This includes paying for any and ALL debt, even this
mindread's debt. However, the most important thing of note is that Wisdom will
give ADDITIONAL EXP based on the amount given! For example, if you need 10000
EXP to level up (debt included), and a level 5 Wisdom skill (10% bonus),
you'll gain the level and an additional 1000 towards the next! Clear our as
much of Orobas Fjords (Depleted Ore Mine is a good place for EXP) before going
here to maximize the profit. It can help getting started in the Orobas Fjords
proper MUCH easier. Mindread everyone possible as well, since you'll gain 10%
of the mindread's value in bonus experience.
----------------
Jonah, a ghost (Sentinel Island)
----------------
COST: 700 EXP
BENEFIT: Random gem + random magical-rarity armor in a small chest.
Jonah tells of a small chest that might've found its way into Vacca's Cave.
This chest contains a magical rarity armor and a random gem, making it pretty
worthwhile. The chets itself is found on a small rock table near the middle
area of the room.
----------------
Laura, treasure hunter in the Fjords (Orobas Fjords)
----------------
COST: 2400 EXP
BENEFIT: Gives 3200 EXP.
This is just a flat EXP boost. You gain a net of 800 EXP free (after the debt
is paid), and more if you leveled either Wisdom or Mindread skills. The best
thing to do is save this for after Wisdom is maxed, and equip as much Mindread
boosting jewelry as possible, to get the maximum effect.
----------------
Linda, Miller Upton's daughter (Broken Valley Village)
----------------
COST: 40 EXP
BENEFIT: 100 EXP, 100 gold, or a unique quest item.
Mindreading Linda reveals she left her coin purse in the church. Get it to
obtain the Linda's Gold Purse quest item. Returning it to her gets you 100
EXP, keeping it and opening it yourself (use it from your inventory) gets you
100 gold. If you give it back to Linda, then side with Antumbra during "Buad
Blood," Linda's Gold Purse will be available to loot from her corpse.
----------------
Locke's Cart, in the village (Broken Valley Village)
----------------
COST: 120 EXP
BENEFIT: Unlocks the cart.
The cart contains some items, including possible formulas, some money, and a
unique book. Mindreading it earns the password needed. The password may also
be obtained from Keane, but only by failing "For a Pound of Flesh."
----------------
Lord Lovis, in the Citadel Armory (Broken Valley)
----------------
COST: 800 EXP
BENEFIT: Unlocks a chest.
The chest to the left of his throne (e.g., the one on the right) is unlocked.
This chest contains several random gems, herbs, ores, charms, and/or formulas,
making it extremely worthwhile.
----------------
Martis, the imprisoned bandit (Broken Valley Village)
----------------
COST: 1050 EXP
BENEFIT: One way to finish "Into the Bandit's Den," and a monster log entry.
Martis' mindread is expensive for when it occurs, but it has two purposes. One
is to get the Bandit Camp password (beetroot), and the other is a chance at
getting Martis in your monster log. After mindreading him, go through the
Secret Passage until you reach the final room before the barracks ladder. Two
bandits will be rescuing Martis. Choose to fight them, and killing Martis
earns his entry. This is the ONLY way to get it!
----------------
Montagu, the Dragon Slayer prison guard (Dragon Slayer Training Camp)
----------------
COST: 1200 EXP
BENEFIT: Provides an alternate solution to "Thorn in the Side."
Mindreading this guy will allow you a solution to accessing the prison that
prevents having to pay 1000 gold as a bribe, or having to duel a Lv26 Dragon
Slayer. Not necessary if you plan to do one of those two things instead.
----------------
Moor, thieving bandit in the Fjords (Orobas Fjords)
----------------
COST: 1200 EXP
BENEFIT: Spawns a key on a ledge above Moor's camp.
This key will unlock the chest in Moor's cabin on his cliffside camp. The
chest contains a random magical rarity weapon, armor, or jewelry item.
----------------
Mundus, earth magic specialist (High Hall Mines)
----------------
COST: 2400 EXP
BENEFIT: Offers another option to finish "The Runes of Wrath."
Mindreading Mundus will allow a third option to finish the quest, separate
from either killing him, or giving him the Chicken Rune. Destroying the
Friendship Rune will cause the trolls to go berserk and kill Mundus in a cave-
in. This gives the smaller reward that killing him gives, but without the
EXP, monster list entry, or item drops.
----------------
Peavey, in jail in the barracks (Broken Valley Village)
----------------
COST: 133 EXP
BENEFIT: Spawns a small chest near the Village Shrine.
Mindreading Peavey when he's in jail (after finishing "High and Dry) causes a
small chest to spawn behind the Village Shrine. This chest has nothing special
though, usually containing an uncommon item. A rare item or some gold may
occasionally be found.
----------------
Ragnar, in the Bandit Camp (Broken Valley)
----------------
COST: 400 EXP
BENEFIT: Spawns a key to access a large golden chest in the Temple of Doom.
Ragnar's mindread causes a key to appear on the giant stone dragon head in the
Temple of Doom (the second room, not the one with the poison, or the river and
lava one). It can be very hard to see. It opens the door near the large golden
chest earlier in the room. This chest often contains several ingredients
and/or potion recipes. Well worth saving and opening until it gives a good
batch of stuff.
----------------
Ragon, ..."eccentric" bandit leader in the Fjords (Bandit Hideout)
----------------
COST: 1200 EXP
BENEFIT: Spawns a bag with a random gem and a random magical rarity jewelry
item in the back of the cavern Ragon is found in.
----------------
Rayhun, Black Ring General and alchemist (Rayhun's Headquarters)
----------------
COST: 2400 EXP
BENEFIT: Spawns a small chest in the back of Rayhun's room.
The small chest contains several ingredients, which is a fancy way of saying
herbs, gems, and ore: all plentiful from traders and your own runners. There
are three herbs, one ore, and one gem, to be exact.
----------------
Richard, a Champion of Aleroth (Broken Valley Village)
----------------
COST: 400 EXP
BENEFIT: "Hearttaker" earns you 150 EXP and gold per heart.
"Hearttaker" normally pays 50 EXP and gold per heart, but after mindreading,
Richard gives 150 of each (three times the normal amount) per heart. This is
VERY worthwhile if you intend to farm hearts, and probably even if you don't.
----------------
Sejanus, Champion of Aleroth (Champion Harbor)
----------------
COST: 1200 EXP
BENEFIT: Spawns a sack of gold in the southwest corner of the Champion Harbor.
This sack of gold contains not gold, but a random gem and a rare or higher
rarity weapon or armor item!
----------------
Sepp, Zepplin assistant (Champion Harbor, roof)
----------------
COST: 2400 EXP
BENEFIT: Gives 1500 EXP.
This is just a flat EXP boost...or it would be, if he gave more than it costs!
Even a maxed Wisdom only brings the boost to 1950 EXP. Several levels worth of
Mindread AND max Wisdom are required to gain anything at all from this. Equip
a Mindread boosting jewelry item to all six slots for +6 (or more, if one has
+2 to Mindread), and then hope you'll have a net gain.
----------------
Storage rooms (Broken Valley)
----------------
COST: Listed below
BENEFIT: Items and high level formulas.
Mindreading various people enables entering and looting their storage rooms.
Although the mindread gives the password, it still ONLY works if mindread.
Just knowing the password yourself won't work, as you may only enter it if
your character knows it. The real benefit to these storages is they contain
a random formula, enchanted item, or body part of ANY level. This enables
obtaining level 10 formulas quite early in the game (and level 9, too, if
the malachite gem-using level 10 versions are not desired).
Abanayamar (200 EXP): This is actually Miller Upton's storage, but the
alchemist tree is the one you mindread for the password. The storage room is
found right next to the fortune teller Sosostra's camp near the New Miner's
Dig. In the chest inside is a random potion formula of any level, from 1 to
10!
Dreavan (800 EXP): Dreavan's storage is easy to find: it is in his small
one-room house, located in the same compound as Dreaven himself. The chest on
the floor of his storage contains a random enchantment formula of ANY level
from 1 to 10!
Naberius (400 EXP): Naberius' storage closet is located behind some large
doors on a ledge above and to the west of his usual cave. Reaching it
requires obtaining all four pieces of Parchment in the valley and having
ZixZax translate them, then taking the mysterious teleporter near the Chapel
Shrine. His storage contains a chest with a random body part (necromancer
creature parts only, no goblin, dragon elf, or ghoul) of any quality,
including the best (perfect)! There is also a skill book sitting on a chair.
Sir Robin (400 EXP): Robin's storage is located under a large tree in the area
southeast of Dreavan's compound. The tree is suspended by its roots above the
ground, with the door on the ground. The chest inside contains a bow with a
random enchantment of any level, from 1 to 10! It is also the only place to
find the Armored Boar enemy. Note that higher level enchantments seem rarer
than weaker ones, so it may take a while.
----------------
The eight candidates (Sentinel Island)
----------------
COST: 800 EXP each, 6400 EXP total
BENEFIT: Additional entries in the quest list of the logbook.
This includes Jonelath, Igor, Allan, Barbatos, Hermosa, Kenneth, Wesson, and
Radcliff. Mindreading each candidate will open an entry about their thoughts
in your quest list in the logbook. These serve no real purpose and give no
reward. They close when "The Prophecy" closes. The only point to this is to
have them in the quest list.
----------------
The Three Gremory Siblings (Broken Valley, Sentinel Island, Orobas Fjords)
----------------
COST: Listed below
BENEFIT: Unlocks the Gremory Chest in the southernmost part of Orobas Fjords.
This chest is located in one of the "holes" in the mountain north of Rivertown
Gorge. It contains a legendary rarity jewelry item. Nothing you couldn't buy
in Aleroth, but nice nonetheless. George's mindread spawns the chest,
Catherine's gives the password, and Arthur's informs you of the secret button,
all needed to loot the chest.
George Gremory (1200 EXP): In the ruins a little to the north of the South
Valley Shrine in Broken Valley. He gives the quest "Lost for Words."
Catherine Gremory (2100 EXP): On Sentinel Island, southwest of the Sea Side
Shrine and near a giant whale skeleton. She gives the quest "The Writing on
the whale."
Arthur Gremory (3600 EXP): In the Imp's Cave in Orobas Fjords, on a cliff
southwest of Dragon Cliff Castle. He gives the quest "Grave Robbers" (part 4
specifically).
----------------
Tim, the barkeep of the Black Boar (Broken Valley Village)
----------------
COST: 40 EXP
BENEFIT: Spawns a gold purse with 100 gold; also, discount.
Tim will not only give a 25% discount for mindreading him, but also causes a
gold purse with 100 gold inside to appear in the bushes outside the chapel in
the village. Not much, but certainly worth 40 EXP.
----------------
Viper, in his camp south of the South Valley Shrine (Broken Valley)
----------------
COST: 400 EXP
BENEFIT: A small assortment of gems.
Mindread Viper when he talks to you after entering his camp just south of the
South Valley Shrine in Broken Valley. This is the only chance to mindread him!
When killed, he will drop two Ambers, Moonstones, and Pyrites, five Pearls,
and a Ruby.
----------------
Willy, on the bridges in Broken Valley proper (Broken Valley)
----------------
COST: 400 EXP
BENEFIT: Spawns a gold bag full of gold.
Mindreading Willy causes a gold bag to appear behind the ritual tree in
Yup'ik's goblin camp west of the South Valley Shrine. This gold bag only ever
has gold, and often has a LOT; around Lv15, it can give 300+.
========================================================
*16* MALACHITE GEMS
========================================================
Malachite Gems are unique, rare items, used in most all level 10 enchantment
recipes, and all ten Healing Aura recipes. There is a (very) limited amount
throughout the game, so they must be treasured! This is a list of all known
gems. Note that not all are necessarily easy or possible to get in a single
game, as some are randomly generated in Malachite Ore veins, and others
require giving up items necessary for quests.
Two gems in particular require choosing Radcliff as your enchanter for the
Battle Tower, and then selling an item vital to his quest to two Goblins. This
nets two Malachite Gems, at the cost of the second upgrade to the Enchanter
platform, as well as a skill book. Choosing Radcliff also automatically locks
you out of another skill book, so these two gems cost 2 skill points. No other
gems have such negative consequences, but several may be missed if you do not
act at the proper moment.
Additionally, for the quest "Sight for Sore Eyes" (and the achievement Turn a
Blind Eye), you must give up two Malachite Gems to Simeon.
----------------
TOTAL (POSSIBLE) GEMS FROM MALACHITE VEINS: 64
TOTAL (OPTIMISTIC) GEMS FROM MALACHITE VEINS: 32
TOTAL (REASONABLE) GEMS FROM MALACHITE VEINS: 24
TOTAL GEMS FROM OTHER SOURCES: 11
TOTAL (POSSIBLE) GEMS IN THE ENTIRE GAME: 75
TOTAL (OPTIMISTIC) GEMS IN THE ENTIRE GAME: 43
TOTAL (REASONABLE) GEMS IN THE ENTIRE GAME: 35
----------------
Gem 1: Purchased for 2000 gold from Merchant Lamotte in Broken Valley, or for
1500 gold if mindread for a discount.
Gem 2: Purchased for 2000 gold from Merchant Lamotte in Broken Valley, or for
1500 gold if mindread for a discount.
Gem 3: Mindread the sleeping trio in the area southeast of Lovis' Tower, then
give them what they each ask for: an alcoholic drink (ale, beer, or wine),
an apple, and a health potion (any quality). Once all three are awake, they
will give you this gem as a reward.
Gem 4: Purchased for 2000 gold from Carleton the merchant on the pass between
the Depleted Ore Mine and Champion Harbor. The merchant is a one-time-only
encounter, so make sure to buy it then and there! Apparently, the dialogue
can sometimes glitch and not let you buy from him, so press the trade button
(Y on the Xbox 360 controller) to make sure you get the chance to buy it.
Gem 5: In a small chest in the tree fort atop Yggdrasil in the Orobas Fjords.
During the story quest "Reaping the Seeds," subquest "The Second Hungry
Statue," you will talk to Yggdrasil, the large tree on an island south of
the Grand Knight Shrine. It will ask you to kill Charlie, the goblin, found
on the island. When talking to Charlie before the fight, mindread him for
3600 EXP. This will spawn the small chest.
Gem 6: Given by Beatrice in High Hall as a reward for completing "The Horror
of High Hall."
Gem 7: Given by Beatrice in High Hall as a reward for completing "The Horror
of High Hall."
Gem 8: Given by Beatrice in High Hall as a reward for completing "The Horror
of High Hall," ONLY IF she is mindread before finishing the quest, and
choosing the new dialogue option the mindread opens (about being sent as a
sacrifice).
Gem 9: Given by Beatrice in High Hall as a reward for completing "The Horror
of High Hall," ONLY IF she is mindread before finishing the quest, and
choosing the new dialogue option the mindread opens (about being sent as a
sacrifice).
Gem 10: For Radcliff's first (and only) quest, when you obtain the Goblin
Stone, agree to sell it to the nearby goblins. Two Malachite Gems will be
included as part of your payment. WARNING! Doing this will prevent both
obtaining a skill point as part of the quest rewards, AND prevent the second
upgrade to the Enchanter platform! Make sure you really want these two gems
before agreeing. Additionally, these gems are unavailable if Wesson was
chosen as your Enchanter.
Gem 11: For Radcliff's first (and only) quest, when you obtain the Goblin
Stone, agree to sell it to the nearby goblins. Two Malachite Gems will be
included as part of your payment. WARNING! Doing this will prevent both
obtaining a skill point as part of the quest rewards, AND prevent the second
upgrade to the Enchanter platform! Make sure you really want these two gems
before agreeing. Additionally, these gems are unavailable if Wesson was
chosen as your Enchanter.
------------------------------------
The following is a list of all Malachite Ore veins. Each vein has a random
chance of containing between 0 and 8 Malachite Gems, with 4 being quite rare,
and 5 and above being almost impossible to get (see section 18.1 for more
information). These veins are small, often the same color as the surrounding
rock, with multicolored gems studded across the surface. They blend in to the
surroundings much more effectively than other veins, so if you haven't seen
one before, be careful not to accidentally "look" at it, thus ruining your
chance to save and reload for gems!
Malachite Ore Vein #1: Depleted Ore Mine
Go to the elevator in the back, and go down two levels. In the back of the
corridor are three pedestals with a Red, Blue, and Dark Book atop them. This
vein is on the ground behind the pedestal with the Dark Book.
Malachite Ore Vein #2: Depleted Ore Mine
Go to the elevator in the back, and go down two levels. In the back of the
corridor are three pedestals with a Red, Blue, and Dark Book atop them. This
is on the wall north of the pedestals, tucked away in a corner.
Malachite Ore Vein #3: Primordial Cave
This one is found near the Patriarch, past the three hungry statues, and
past the fire-filled maze and subsequent force field. As you approach the
Patriarch's large chamber, this vein is found on the wall to the right of
the final two large pillars, past the T intersection.
Malachite Ore Vein #4: Primordial Cave
This one is found near the Patriarch, past the three hungry statues, and
past the fire-filled maze and subsequent force field. As you approach the
Patriarch's large chamber, this vein is found on the wall to the left of
final two large pillars (same ones as vein #3). It is in a small alcove that
is difficult to see, so look for a broken wagon in the ground. This vein is
to the left of it.
Malachite Ore Vein #5: Well Cave
This is found in the room where Zagan is fought. However, it requires
getting it BEFORE triggering the fight. To reach it, jump along the rocks on
the south side of the large chamber where Zagan is. This is easily done by
going around the left side of the large dragon skeleton near the entrance.
Directly south of the large Hellgate, there will be a large flat rock with
two veins that stick out like a sore thumb on it. This is one of them. If
you exit the cave via the teleporter in the back after killing Zagan, you
can never return! Be sure not to miss these gems! Be careful not to look at
Vein #6 by accident when looting this one!
Malachite Ore Vein #6: Well Cave
This is found in the room where Zagan is fought. However, it requires
getting it BEFORE triggering the fight. To reach it, jump along the rocks on
the south side of the large chamber where Zagan is. This is easily done by
going around the left side of the large dragon skeleton near the entrance.
Directly south of the large Hellgate, there will be a large flat rock with
two veins that stick out like a sore thumb on it. This is one of them. If
you exit the cave via the teleporter in the back after killing Zagan, you
can never return! Be sure not to miss these gems! Be careful not to look at
Vein #5 by accident when looting this one!
Malachite Ore Vein #7: Lost Tomb
This in inside the Lost Tomb, which requires meeting Arthur Gremory and
Laura, then finding two corpses (Jimmy Dean and Jack Bolton) to get their
Piece of Seal items. Inside the tomb, there is a casket in some ruins in the
center of the room. After the two explorers leave, search behind a vertical
wooden beam to the west of the casket to find this vein. Both veins are very
visible from the center of the room.
Malachite Ore Vein #8: Lost Tomb
This in inside the Lost Tomb, which requires meeting Arthur Gremory and
Laura, then finding two corpses (Jimmy Dean and Jack Bolton) to get their
Piece of Seal items. Inside the tomb, there is a casket in some ruins in the
center of the room. After the two explorers leave, search a corner of the
room to the east of the southeastern pillar in the central ruins for this
vein. Both veins are very visible from the center of the room.
========================================================
*17* RARE, SPECIAL, AND (OFTEN) USELESS ITEMS
========================================================
This is a list of the parameters of various items in the game that don't fit
anywhere else. Many of these are useless or serve the same purpose as other
items, but I felt it criminal to not give them a quick rundown, especially in
a game with such well-defined and far-reaching systems and frameworks of
items.
------------------------------------
17.1 - CONSUMABLES
Name Item type Value
------------------------------------
These are items in the fourth pocket (consumables) in your inventory, between
jewelry and quest items. All of these can be used for an effect, however the
value and (sometimes) consequences for using them may be diverse.
Allan Brew Small Potion 1260 gold
Allan rewards one of these potions for finishing his first quest, "Allan
Brew Confidential." The formula is added to your potion list, as well, and
more can be made for a cost of 4x Black Rose, Dragon Nail, Earth Root, Holy
Basil, and Whisperwood. This potion, when used, increases all armor ratings
by 36 for 180 seconds, making it 50% more effective than the Potion of
Ultimate Full Resistance. If Barbatos was chosen, this potion can never be
obtained, as Allan will never have perfected it.
Eaten Fish Dish Food 15 gold
This is just a basic food item, worth 15 gold instead of 9. It is also, from
the name, apparently partially consumed. One is found at Camp ?, northeast
of Jievaras, a legendary tree.
Eaten Pork Dish Food 15 gold
This is just a basic food item, worth 15 gold instead of 9. It is also, from
the name, apparently partially consumed. One is found in Raze's flying
fortress, at a Black Ring camp directly north of the entrance to the
fortress area. Another is found in Kali's flying fortress, in a large camp
on the southern island (where the Headquarters is located). It is on a lower
tier, near the southeastern part of the landmass.
Eaten Turkey Dish Food 15 gold
This is just a basic food item, worth 15 gold instead of 9. It is also, from
the name, apparently partially consumed. One is found in Raze's flying
fortress, at a Black Ring camp directly north of the entrance to the
fortress area.
Fish Food 25 gold
This fish item has a red fish icon. It is like most food items, but worth
more for some reason. 8 of these can be bought from Mullet at his shop
outside of the Champion Harbor building.
Fish Food 25 gold
This fish item has a gold fish icon. It is like most food items, but worth
more for some reason. 4 of these can be bought from Mullet at his shop
outside of the Champion Harbor building.
Fish Dish Food 25 gold
This is purchased from Mullet outside the Champion Harbor building. He
stocks 6 of these, and never gets more. Seems like just a normal food item,
except for its limited availability.
Potion of Wisdom Large Potion 0 gold (cannot be sold, stored, destroyed)
Dropped by Geshniz in her Headquarters in Broken Valley. This potion, if
used, gives a permanent +5 bonus to Intelligence. It is required to finish
Allan's second quest, so you only get to use it if you chose Barbatos. If
Allan was chosen, you can still technically use it yourself, however it will
fail his second quest, denying you the EXP and gold, a skill book, and the
second upgrade to the Alchemy Garden.
Turkey Dish Food 25 gold
One of these is found in Keara's fortress. The exact location is difficult
to describe, but it is on a table in a walled-in section. This is on the
tier of land right above (and northwest of) a large flat area with three
prison cages on it, in the middle northwest sectioon of the fortress. It is
about 2/3 of the way up on the fortress island.
------------------------------------
17.2 - OTHER
Name Item type Value
------------------------------------
These are items in the sixth and final pocket of your inventory (with quest
items before). These largely serve no purpose other than an occasional quest
purpose, but mostly take up space or are meant to be sold. The useless ones
can be discerned by looking for the entries with significantly less
description.
Bottle Bottle 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
Found randomly in barrels, crates, urns, and baskets. Also sold randomly by
the Hermit on Sentinel Island.
Cup Cup 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
Found randomly in barrels, crates, urns, and baskets. Also sold randomly by
the Hermit on Sentinel Island.
Dish Dish 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
Found randomly in barrels, crates, urns, and baskets. Also sold randomly by
the Hermit on Sentinel Island.
Drudanae Herbs Herb 5000 gold
A controlled substance in the form of an herb. This is needed to complete
the subquest "A Puff of Drudanae" for the quest "Down the Hatch." After
finishing "The Runes of Wrath," it can be obtained by either buying it from
Nicolas in High Hall, who stocks a single Drudanae Herbs item, or by
mindreading him, obtaining the key under the pillow in his house, and taking
the secret door next to his bed to a cliff in High Hall, where a Drudanae
plant sits. This plant works like any other herb plant, and will give 2 to 5
of the herb, randomly. Mindreading him also gives a 25% discount, so the
herb Nicolas stocks will only cost 3750 gold. A total of 6 Drudanae Herbs
items may be obtained, 5 of which are yours to keep.
Hammer Hammer 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
Two of these are found on the table inside Nicolas' House in High Hall (in
Orobas Fjords). Like the random utensils and cookware, they seem to have no
actual function.
Knife Knife 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
Found randomly in barrels, crates, urns, and baskets. Also sold randomly by
the Hermit on Sentinel Island.
Letter Scroll 5 gold
Seems like a book, but isn't. Two can be found on Sentinel Island, but both
require dragon form. One is inside an open casket on the hills east of the
Battle Tower (near two chests). This one tells of a person named "M" who
wanted to be buried in the shadow of the tower. The other is found in a tent
on the northern point of a mountain range with the top just above the poison
gas, and tells that the person writing the note would rather die and have
his remains scattered in the ocean than for the necromancer to claim him.
They serve no real purpose.
Lever Handle Quest Item 0 gold (cannot be sold)
A handle for a broken lever, a couple of these are found, and needed to
replace broken levers. There are three total in the game. One is used for
the elevator in the Well Cave at High Hall to reach Zagan. This is found in
a treasure chest on the middle floor of the cave (the same floor the broken
lever base is on). The second is in a small chest in the fire maze of the
Primordial Cave (past the hungry statues). This is needed to work the lever
to remove the force field barring further progress. The third is in the
Broken Valley Mine, found in a plain wooden chest in the southwestern
corner of the mine.
Mug Mug 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
Found randomly in barrels, crates, urns, and baskets. Also sold randomly by
the Hermit on Sentinel Island.
Note Scroll 5 gold
Seems like a book, but isn't. This note is found on the floor at the
entrance of Keara's Headquarters in her flying fortress. It tells of someone
who insists that all of the statues lie.
Pan Pan 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
Found randomly in barrels, crates, urns, and baskets. Also sold randomly by
the Hermit on Sentinel Island. One can also be found in a wyvern nest
partway up the spire east of Vacca's Cave, also on Sentinel Island.
Plate Plate 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
Found randomly in barrels, crates, urns, and baskets. Also sold randomly by
the Hermit on Sentinel Island.
Rope (version 1) Junk 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
This is found all over the place. The icon has a coil of light-colored rope.
One of either this or Rope 2 is required to finish the quest "Stuck in a
Hole." This quest does NOT consume the rope, however. Merchant Lamotte in
Broken Valley sells one of this item.
Rope (version 2) Junk 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
This is slightly less common than the first rope. It is a bundle of rope,
not a coil. One of either this or Rope 1 is required to finish the quest
"Stuck in a Hole." This quest does NOT consume the rope, however.
Rotten Earth Root Herb 9 gold
A useless version of the Earth Root herb. Locke (in Broken Valley's Black
Boar pub) stocks 10 of these, but never gets any more. There are 11 Rotten
Earth Root herb patches on Sentinel Island, in the southeast corner, each
holding 2 to 5. In total, this makes for 55 possible Rotten Earth Roots,
although like all herbs, only 50 can be in a stack. Mindreading Sam (at the
Shipwreck Colony) will allow you to give him a Rotten Earth Root, but this
raises his prices by 10%. The herb runner in the Battle Tower cannot be
dispatched to find Rotten Earth Root.
Scroll Scroll 5 gold
This scroll is found on the Corpse of Jimmy Dean, near a teleporter on a
high cliff northwest of Champion Harbor (between the harbor and the path to
High Hall). Another identical scroll is found on the Corpse of Jack Bolton,
in a wyvern nest on a lower cliff along the northern cliffs northwest of
Jievaras, the legendary tree. The scroll seems like it would be a book, but
isn't. Using it opens a dialogue box wherein the scroll tells you what it
knows. It is the message to Jimmy and Jack from whoever sent his part of the
seal, telling him of the Lost Tomb and the treasures within. It serves no
real purpose.
Spoon Spoon 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
Found randomly in barrels, crates, urns, and baskets. Also sold randomly by
the Hermit on Sentinel Island.
Tankard Tankard 1 gold (same buy and sell value)
Found randomly in barrels, crates, urns, and baskets. Also sold randomly by
the Hermit on Sentinel Island.
Vacca's Gem Gem 5000 gold (same buy and sell value)
Vacca's prized gem, a large square-shaped green gem. It is located in
Vacca's Cave on Sentinel Island. It may only be picked up prior to or during
"Ghostbuster," otherwise Vacca picks it up himself. If the quest is turned
in with the gem in your possession, Vacca demands it returned. Refusing to
will cause him to turn hostile and attack. Killing him earns his monster
list entry, and he drops the Wyvern Fat quest item, but the quest fails.
Selling the gem and then turning in the quest has no negative consequences.
There is no purpose to this gem aside from selling or making Vacca hostile
to kill him.
========================================================
*18* VARIOUS LISTS
========================================================
This is just random lists that were added in because they were simple and
possibly useful.
------------------------------------
18.1 - ORE VEIN CONTENTS LIST
Vein type Ore Gem 1 Gem 2
------------------------------------
Black Rock Vein Black Rock Obsidian Pyrite
Droxlerite Ore Vein Droxlerite Opal Spinel
Fossil Ore Vein Fossil Sapphire Topaz
Gold Ore Vein Gold Ore Quartz Crystal
Iron Ore Vein Iron Diamond Amber
Malachite Ore Vein Malachite Ore Malachite Gem Aquamarine
Red Ore Vein Red Ore Ruby Moonstone
Venom Stone Ore Vein Venom Stone Emerald Tiger's Eye
Each vein has anywhere from 5 to 8 total items. The probability of 5, 6, 7, or
8 items is even (25% chance of each). Although 2 to 8 of an ore, and 2 to 4 of
either gem (or mixed between both) are the most common results, there can
actually be 0 to 8 of any of the items. 8 gems is possible, although extremely
rare, as the below probabilities will display.
The chances for any given amount of ore from a vein are as follows:
Ore Probability
0 0.006%
1 0.14%
2 1.37%
3 6.86%
4 18.97%
5 28.61%
6 23.98%
7 15.05%
8 5.01%
The chances for any given amount of a single gem are as follows:
Gems Probability Average Attempts
0 54.09% 2
1 34.55% 3
2 9.64% 10
3 1.54% 65
4 0.16% 641
5 0.01% 9,732
6 0.0004% 230,955
7 0.00001% 9,357,497
8 0.0000001% 850,606,805
The number of attempts is the average number of attempts at checking the vein
before reaching an even chance of getting that result. As these lists show,
the chances of getting no ore is extremely low, as are the chances of getting
4 or more gems (of either kind the vein offers). As it says, the above table
is the chance of getting the listed amount of a SINGLE gem, regardless of what
the other contents of the vein are (if any).
As Malachite Ore Veins are a source of the very limited Malachite Gems, needed
for level 10 enchantments (and any of the coveted Healing Aura enchantments),
getting multiple gems is a very useful thing. However, getting more than 3 is
extremely difficult and tedious. Based on both the above numbers, and personal
experience, getting 4 Malachite Gems takes an order of magnitude longer than
getting 3, nevermind getting 5 or more!
Big thanks to Nilwarp for figuring out how ore vein content generation works!
Here is a link to his original document, going a bit more in-depth into how
the probabilities work:
http://www.evermoreforums.com/johnny/info/d2prob.txt
------------------------------------
18.2 - RARITY PROPERTIES
Name Color Buffs Charm slots Enchantments
------------------------------------
Normal White None None None
Uncommon White 1 random buff 0 to 1 None
Rare Blue 1 random buff 0 to 1 1 enchantment
Magical Lg. Green 2 random buffs 0 to 2 1 enchantment
Heroic Dk. Green 3 random buffs 0 to 3 1 enchantment
Legendary Yellow 4 random buffs 0 to 4 1 enchantment
Epic Red 5 random buffs 0 to 4 2 enchantments
Unique Red 5 random buffs 0 to 4 3 enchantments
Rarity determines an item's attributes. Most quest rewards always award items
of a specific rarity. Shops often stock only items of specific rarities.
Buffs can be increases to any stats, with some restrictions. Melee, Ranged,
and Magic Damage buffs only occur on weapons. Melee, Ranged, and Magic Armor
buffs only appear on armor, along with Conditioned Body, Heightened Reflexes,
and Indomitable Will. Critical Chance is weapon-only as well. Jewelry counts
as armor, but can also have skill bonuses as buffs. Jewelry can only have
Magic Armor buffs, not Melee or Ranged. A weapon's buffs only apply while it
is armed (a bow will not give its bonuses if you currently have melee armed).
Any item can have any buff provided by charms, including Melee Damage-boosting
armor, or Armor-boosting weapons.
Epic rarity items are only dropped by the opponents in the Arena within the
Hall of Echoes: Marius, Sassan, Amdusias, Laiken, and Lady Kara. They each
drop a single piece of Epic equipment. Maruis and Amdusias drop shields or
armor, and Sassan, Laiken, and Lady Kara drop melee weapons and bows.
Unique rarity items are only dropped by the archdemon Ba'al, in the Broken
Valley mine. He drops two unique rarity items. They may be melee weapons,
bows, shields, or armor. Ba'al drops another Unique item when he is fought
again in the Hall of Echoes Arena, but this one can only be a shield or armor.
The two Lv34 opponents in the final battle also drop Unique rarity armor or
weapons.
In all, there are five Epic and five Unique pieces of equipment in the game.
------------------------------------
18.3 - DIVINE CHARMS
------------------------------------
Divine charms are the highest class of charm in the entire game, equivalent
of level 5 charms. Lesser, Minor, Major, Blessed, Divine. However, they cannot
be purchased or found normally! Certain bosses drop them as part of their
loot, and this is a list of those bosses. Note that sometimes the boss might
drop a blessed or weaker charm instead. Reload and re-kill until they drop
the divine charm.
The charms, like all, are random in which stat they actually boost, selected
from: Vitality, Spirit, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Melee Damage,
Melee Armor, Ranged Armor, Magic Armor, Conditioned Body, Heightened Reflexes,
and Indomitable Will. All boost the listed stat by +5, except for Melee
Damage, which gives +10.
Charm 1: Laiken Battle Tower - Throne Room
During "Laiken in his Lair." Seems to always drop, even if you kill Razakel
first and haven't damaged Laiken (thus denying you the EXP from Laiken, yet
still earning his drops).
Charm 2: Laiken's Chest Battle Tower - Throne Room
This chest sits behind the throne in the Throne Room of the Battle Tower.
This is one of two charms in the chest. This chest will only appear if
Laiken is mindread in the Throne Room BEFORE killing him!
Charm 3: Laiken's Chest Battle Tower - Throne Room
This chest sits behind the throne in the Throne Room of the Battle Tower.
This is one of two charms in the chest. This chest will only appear if
Laiken is mindread in the Throne Room BEFORE killing him!
Charm 4: Stone Stone's Flying Fortress - Arena
Black Ring General Stone drops this charm upon his second defeat, and
subsequent death, in the Arena of Stone's flying fortress.
Charm 5: Raze Raze's Flying Fortress - Headquarters
Black Ring General Raze drops this charm when killed. He is found in the
Headquarters of his own flying fortress.
Charm 6: Geshniz's Chest Broken Valley - Geshniz's Headquarters
Geshniz, a lower level Black Ring commander, has a golden chest in her
headquarters with the Plate Dragon Claws. This charm is inside.
THIS CHARM DOES NOT ALWAYS APPEAR! Make sure to save the game before
checking the chest, in case it fails to appear!
Charm 7: Rayhun's Chest Broken Valley - Rayhun's Headquarters
Rayhun, Black Ring commander and alchemist, has a golden chest in his
headquarters with the Crystal Dragon Leggings. The charm is inside.
THIS CHARM DOES NOT ALWAYS APPEAR! Make sure to save the game before
checking the chest, in case it fails to appear!
Charm 8: Kali Kali's Flying Fortress - Headquarters
Black Ring General Kali drops this charm. Much like all the generals, find
her headquarters, then find her inside, and kill her.
Charm 9: Ba'al Broken Valley - Mine
Ba'al, the demon that ended Lord Lovis' reign, drops a Divine Charm. His
destruction is needed to earn the Hall of Echoes Sigil, which is necessary
to finish the game.
Charm 10: Marius Hall of Echoes - Arena
Marius is the first opponent you encounter in the Arena within the Hall of
Echoes. He drops this charm.
Charm 11: Laiken Hall of Echoes - Arena
Laiken is the fourth opponent you encounter in the Arena within the Hall of
Echoes. He drops this charm.
Charm 12: Ba'al Hall of Echoes - Arena
Ba'al is the final opponent you encounter in the Arena within the Hall of
Echoes. He drops this charm.
------------------------------------
18.4 - STONE'S FORTRESS GREENERY COMBINATIONS
------------------------------------
In Stone's Fortress Greenery (one of the rooms in his flying fortress), you
will find a lathe wooden chest with five herb buds inside: Black Rose, Fanny
Blossom, Moonshine, Oak Tears, and Holy Basil. You can drop any two buds into
the spring in the final room of the Greenery. You will be rewarded with one
normal herb of whichever bud you dropped in first, and another reward based on
which two buds were used.
Black Rose + Fanny Blossom = Broom (cannot be picked up)
Black Rose + Holy Basil = Well-Crafted Heavy Iron Axe
Black Rose + Moonshine = +1 skill point
Black Rose + Oak Tears = Balanced Heavy Short Bow
Fanny Blossom + Holy Basil = Normal Light Iron Cleaver
Fanny Blossom + Moonshine = Balanced Light Steel Sword
Fanny Blossom + Oak Tears = +1000 experience points
Holy Basil + Moonshine = Normal Light Noble Hammer
Holy Basil + Oak Tears = +5 stat points
Moonshine + Oak Tears = Nothing
------------------------------------
18.5 - ENCHANTMENTS, POTIONS, AND LEVELS
------------------------------------
There is a minimum level that must be reached before each level of potion and
enchantment formulas may be found. Incidentally, these align themselves with
the bonus for the Increase Damage, Increase Magic Damage, Increase Mana, and
Lifeline enchantment amounts!
Lvl Title Character Necromancer title
1 Limited Level 1 Rotten
2 Minor Level 3 Infested
3 Lesser Level 6 Damaged
4 Moderate Level 9 Slightly damaged
5 Substantial Level 12 Preserved
6 Greater Level 15 Well-preserved
7 Advanced Level 18 Clean
8 Major Level 21 Clean-cut
9 Extreme Level 24 Fresh
10 Ultimate Level 27 Perfect
There are some exceptions. The possible enchantments found on equipment is
based on the ITEM'S level, it seems. An item can have any enchantment that is
within its level. Therefore, a Lv30 item can have ANY enchantment, but a Lv1
item will be limited to Lv1 enchantments.
This means that finding unique equipment with randomized enchantments at a
low level has a chance of getting enchantments that are otherwise unavailable
at that level. Some pre-determined chests and possibly quest rewards may also
allow obtaining a formula item that is a level or two above your character's.
Items dropped by enemies use the enemy's level for determining the range of
formulas and body parts possible.
After certain levels, lower-level formulas and body parts are no longer found.
As time goes on, this means anything below level 5 potion formulas and body
parts will not be found any longer, and thus can be missed permanently. There
is one small chest late in the game (requiring mindreading someone before
killing them) that may contain potion formulas of any level, so it provides
one last chance at a single missed formula.
Body parts seem to have a slightly different availability curve than formulas
do. Each level of body part starts appearing later than listed, and lower-
level parts stop appearing sooner, too. Level 30 seems to be the minimum for
Perfect-quality body parts to appear in Grimm's "store." At level 38 and
beyond, only Perfect parts will appear in the store.
------------------------------------
18.6 - EXPERIENCE TABLES
------------------------------------
This is a list of each level and the EXP needed to reach it. The formula to
calculate the EXP needed for any given level is: E = 100 * (L^3 - L) / 3
Level Total EXP needed EXP needed from last level
Lv1 0 EXP +0
Lv2 200 EXP +200

Lv44 2,838,000 EXP +189,200
Lv45 3,036,000 EXP +198,000
Levels apparently go up to 60, but good luck even getting to 45.
========================================================
*19* FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
========================================================
Q: Keys, keys, keys! Why do I have so many keys?!
A: The problem with keys is that some locks (mainly chests) may be picked
with a high enough Lockpicking skill level, before the key is obtained. If
this is the case, the key (if obtained) will stay in your inventory forever.
On top of this, some keys (one in particular, dropped by a Goblin Chief in
the Secret Passage) have no actual use, and therefore are in your inventory
until the end.
Q: My [insert quest item here] vanished from my inventory! Why did that
happen?
A: Quest items (except for keys) seem to vanish when they lose their purpose.
The Wolfsbane Potion and Fake Red Ore vanish when you finish "Sibling
Rivalry," no matter what the outcome is. If you don't even have the items
yet, they vanish from their chests. If you do, you lose the item you didn't
use (or both), even though you DIDN'T USE IT.

is woefully unfinished, as even a cursory glance can tell. I'm still working
on figuring out the best way to present the data AND clearly mark it.
0.90 Completed August 27th, 2010.
Finished most incomplete sections, such as dragon skill points, dragon armor,
and armor sets (non-DLC). Pretty much everything outside of the endgame
(past the point of no return) should be covered in full. Anything that isn't,
email me to let me know! Skill section also complete, minus three dragon
skills.
1.00 Completed August 30th, 2010.
Finished the skill section, and completed the game (and guide). From here on
out, further updates will mostly be corrections and other small fixes, as all
content has been covered. Revised the desccriptions of the Epic and Unique
rarity equipment.
1.01 Completed August 31st, 2010.
Added the two missing entries from the final battle to the monster log.
1.02 Completed September 20th, 2010.
Figured out how ore veins and their contents work, thanks to Nilwarp. Also
revised the Heightened Reflexes damage increasing formula, also thanks to
Nilwarp.
1.03 Completed September 22nd, 2010.
Revised some stats (mainly how regen and armor points work for Str, Dex, and
Int), thanks to Nilwarp. Also corrected most unique weapons' critical rate.
It was incorrect due to the fact Death Blow's bonus is added to the displayed
rate (putting several weapons 3 points too high). Also pointed out by Nilwarp.
1.04 Completed October 19th, 2010.
Fixed a few errors in the skill section, and elsewhere.
1.05 Completed December 20th, 2010.
Added information to the About section regarding Flames of Vengeance and
Dragon Knight Saga releases.
1.06 Completed February 10th, 2011.
Added info on the Small Key quest item finally, found a new one nearby (Cellar
Key), and reworded/edited a lot of things. Also added a stat point mindread
with Champion David that Mephasm found.
